KPH & Crypto for Event #3 #event_notice
|
Breaking news...
On Saturday July 22nd @ 20:00 UTC, historic maritime coast station KPH will broadcast an authentic Enigma coded crypto message on its commercial CW channels (see link below). By coincidence this broadcast will take place just 24 hours after the start of our RandomGram Event #3. In cooperation with KPH and the Maritme Radio Historical Society (MRHS), we have compiled the KPH Enigma code groups for this broadcast into the RandomGram transmit-list cache, registered to station KPH... What this means is that after the RandomGram event concludes participants will have an additional opportunity to increase their scores by monitoring the KPH broadcast, logging the Enigma code groups and submitting them to RandomGram. Correctly logged code groups will earn additional RX points. We will also compile a separate results table for all who log and submit code groups transmitted by KPH. It will show the number of Enigma groups correctly reported by each participant. You can see those results at /g/RandomGram/message/59. The MRHS webpage includes a link to an online Enigma crypto machine simulator, with which the broadcast code groups can be decoded. Certificates will be awarded to those who correctly decode the authentic U-boat message and submit it to MRHS. You can find more info about the KPH Enigma crypto broadcast, time & frequencies, award certificates, and the online Enigma machine simulator, at the Maritime Radio Historical Society page here: Please note: No encrypted text or ciphers are transmitted in the RandomGram event. The crypto groups broadcast by station KPH are transmitted on assigned commercial frequencies outside the amateur bands. We hope RandomGram participants will tune in the KPH Enigma broadcast and support this great event! 73, Drew/AF2Z RandomGram Mgr |
