[Spooks] HM01 numbers, thoughts, etc. for and from the last few days

[shawn fahrer]

Back on 01/22/2014, HM01 @ 5855 kHz was barely audible under the static and QRM from WTWW (5830). However, I have found out that I can get an image of the transmission @ 4945 kHz (5855 -910 [AKA 2X IF], that is) which was clearer than the primary signal. Numbers were:

81817 // 14855 // 81785 // 82461 // 65525 // 61073 as they had been for the past several days.

However, later on that day (17 UT, 01/22/2014 @ 11530 kHz) I BARELY caught wind of a new series of numbers (which would normally be the broadcast for UT 01/23/2014):

81818 (assumed; static, etc. made it impossible to determine for sure, so I used my "rules" to make this assumption based on the transmission of the following day) // 14856 // 60471 (replacing an expected 81786) // 82462 // 65526 // 61074

On 01/24/2014 @ 05 UT on 5855, the signal was MUCH CLEARER (as well as at the 4945 image I mentioned above, which exists due to my wacky radio) with the following numbers:

81871 // 14857 // 60472 // 82463 // 65527 // 61075

On all broadcasts (in which each segment lasted only 22 minutes or so), the segment abruptly ended BEFORE a repetition of 61075 and its associated .TXT file (and may have also been one runthrough short, which contributed to the segments lasting less than their usual 24 -25 minutes; remember that two such segments = one transmission). This proves that the entire transmission is prerecorded (either as a mp3 type file, CD, audio tape, etc. prior to transmission) or else someone would have noticed this and put in the appropriate material in subsequent transmissions.

Early today, I heard the 05 UT transmission (carrier noticed by 0500 UT, but no numbers, etc. transmitted until 0506 UT; off @ 0528 UT, back on @ 0529 UT and off by 0551 UT with carrier leaving by 0554 UT), the 06 UT transmission @ 11435 (surprisingly good signal for this band; carrier on by 0559 UT, numbers by 0559.5, off by 0621, back on @ 0629 UT-- yes, there was an approximately 8 minute "bathroom break" between segments-- and off @ 0651 UT), and the 07 UT transmission on 9330 (good signal; once transmission strength established, I went to SLEEP-- note that by then it was after 2 AM in the Eastern Time Zone in which I reside in).
