No 0 either... curious.

I confirm your Rx of an HM01 ID bearing a 9 (despite the unusually heavy QRM) on 5855 at 05:00 2014-01-01.  10345KHz at 06:00 was much clearer: "56792 03633 37674 18655 62113 66163".

(Does my enthusiasm for 2014 show?)

HM01's airtime seems to be determined by the clock rather than by the content. Perhaps now they are repeating messages n times within x amount of time instead of repeating messages however many times they can within x amount of time.

Then again, when Pedro oopses, the best laid plans o' mice and men go aft a'glay.

That would require so much contingency planning that I think it highly improbable - especially when we consider Pedro's "oops" record.

Well, it sure ain't Queen's "Play the Game".  If they play "The Show Must Go On" as they come on the air... ;-P
