During the time (~ 3 full years) I have been monitoring HM01 (as actively as possible, considering my lack of decent equipment), I have never heard of any use of a .rfc file to transmit ANY data. I have seen text files (that usually consist of two bits [AKA one byte's worth] of hexadecimal code [per PY4ZBZ, AKA Roland -- the guy who invented the now basically obsolete DIGTRX format that HM01 allegedly uses]) which, from what I've seen of it, doesn't make obvious sense when printed up.

That got me to check on this .rfc file -- and this is what I found (so far):

RPF - Transit Flying Chart - 1	\
*..f11, \*.f12, \*.f13, \*.f14, \*.f15, \*.f16, \*.f17, \*.f18, \*.f19, \*.f1a, \*.f1b, \{*.f1c}, \*.f1d, \*.f1e, \*.f1f, \*.f1g, \*.f1h, \*.f1j

>From the myriad definitions for RPF, this one seems to make the most sense: 
Raster Product Format, a series of GIS file formats used in digital mapping

I don't know how much of a 'map' you can have in 296 bytes, but it appears that this may indicate that SOMETHING is being mapped (from the air?) -- but WHAT?????

P S One other thing I just noticed:

53788 = 4606 /  5378.TXT = 295 bytes
63305 = 0004 /  6330.TXT = Unknown
66318 = 5081 /  6631.F1C = 296 bytes
33414 = 1512 /  3341.TXT = 953 bytes
41469 = 7213 /  4146.TXT = 941 bytes
18728 = 0765 /  1872.TXT = 303 bytes

Omitting the file size for a moment, it seems that the file NAMES mean SOMETHING (what exactly, I can NOT tell you, but perhaps it involves something as simple as the infamous "Montes cypher" [as in Ana] in which each two position code of numbers translates to a specific letter). I don't expect it to be the SAME "Montes cypher" (but it would be a hoot if it was), but something in that format (see https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2008/september/montes_091209 for what I mean).  

The first half of the file name would, perhaps, be two bits of this cypher, while the second half of the file name is the "base" of the 5 digit number sequence which can range from 0 (but usually from 1) to 9 (but often ends after 8). Thus it maybe possible that the last number (of which I have been known to obsess about when it will increase or not) means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in and of itself, but only the first four numbers mean anything (plus the other four which may be separately random generated (or not so random).

Does this make me the next "super spy"? Or just another crazy crank who's too dangerous for his own good? Until we meet again, I remain
