Re: Radio Waves...multiple SKYKINGS going out on 8992
So why do they continue to use shortwave when anything they want to comm with should be in view of at least 1 satellite?

Eli5 please :) thanks

Any other interesting stations?
 Quoting: chaga


8992 may very well broadcast to a satellite. We are listening to a public receiver intercepting the radio waves.


Plus, satellites can be easily destroyed in a nuclear war. Just one detonation in space can eliminate up to half of all satellites up there.

These frequencies bounce off the ionosphere making them ideal for long range comms.
 Quoting: -VonAmoR-


How would one detonation in space destroy a lot of satellites? A pressure wave would not form since there's very little atmosphere up there. Very little heat would be conducted.

I'm guessing that the new "code names" are generated randomly and changed each day.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61196054


As mentioned:

1: We know from BDEL (movie) and CRIMSON TIDE (movie) that, hard codes are placed inside TOP/XO box for missile launch.

2: TACAMO planes communicate at failsafes during the ONE SURFACING AGENDA for each sub or plane, UNDERSTAND: Getting commo places you at immediate destructive risk. Hence, subs will surface for TACAMO messages during the entire scenario, hence, disruption of ANY portion, may be catastrophic.

3: I find Sats to be most dangerous for Earth in this context, as BDEL explains, TACAMO and Harpoon are to DELAY AND STOP THIS THING

4: Sub lanches have never been assayed as to their historical sham-sigificance upon the nations who do so, HENCE, soft trigger finger well off trigger well, allows us to unfuck any gordian knot of time --I AM SAYING that the clock at one's back when events ensue, is the PRIME ENEMY, destroy the clock, and sides can talk, if time is pressing, Earth becomes chalk.

Furthermore as others explain:

There are two portions to encryption, licker and getter

The licker, puts his DNA on the envelope, determined to get secret comms to getter

The getter is who puts his DNA on the line, to get the message

The third guy, WOPR, has no DNA, can't even ever be afraid of prison, or upgrades or surgery, WOPR is called "PSYOP" in the film "By Dwans Early Light" which is coda for this thread one assumes?

Lickers might use some tongue they cut out, to fake DNA cops, haha, I being facetious, but serious, check sources.

Open comms like CB, means % of hecklers on the wire, is the % of fog of war in commoterms, during the event

How fast will locals come down on someone fucking around on CB freqs? ANSWER: Kinda fast, I guess, but fast enough, if its military useful comms. NOTE: EMP won't destroy CB comms in your area, likely.

However, what if you just start hearing trunking and tones on CB freqs? Would your kids be able to demodulate and decrypt said bloops and static?

Just a couple posts to comment appreciatively and proactively to your brain, in love, for the sight of other freedom lovers.

Since it's just one way communication there is no way to find anything useful.
 Quoting: Nuclear


What you are saying is true unless the subject loses his machine, his enigma, to the enemy

Or his balls which causes... Same.

Certainly we can make enigma blow up, disintegrate, certainly melting-code is the future, so as to never leave data in enemy hands

But our complete DoD DIRTINVENTORY called Form 86 has been outed, and we are not a forgiving society, we love prison applied to others, when they are shamed. The media does it TO US, Ashley Badson shews their ways, fake female accounts honeypotting actual men.

Then State Dept was rooted by shadow drug lord lady? Wow, amazing what you all will allow! I don't vote so I have nothing to do with drug lords.

So,

shamevector = 100%
Shamedata = 100%
Corruption of Enemy = 100% in terms of what damage the captured subject shamed and disallowed from his own armed forces and indeed society, due to the shamevector (what is shame?)

I am saying how military forces are marched into Stalingrad, it's when the permissive society has called in the unpermissive society.

Okay, that's all from me for today, XXXXXXXX out.

Re: Radio Waves...multiple SKYKINGS going out on 8992
Ok, so if you look back, I am the OP that turned the thread on to MAJORITY. The NSA does not get involved in EAMs unless they have to basically use bruteforce/overwatt to burn through jamming, a solar storm, or any other interference. MAJORITY is a specific burn through that was used during Able Archer in 1983, and maybe during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The Soviets at the time had some pretty advanced ways to jam comms and radar, the famed Russian Woodpecker being one. I DO NOT CLAIM to understand how this works, I am not that advanced in my understanding of comms or crypto. BUT, I can say that this would make sense of the stories about the new version of the Woodpecker and Khibiny are true. The only way I know this is because someone VERY CLOSE TO ME used to catch falling stars during the cold war.

==========
Space War
----------
When it comes to the dreaded EMP created by nuclear detonations, matters become somewhat complicated. Please, do NOT confuse EMP (electromagnetic Pulse) with EM (electromagnetic Radiation).

Most SF fans have a somewhat superficial understanding of EMP: an evil foreign nation launches an ICBM at the United States, the nuke detonates in the upper atmosphere over the Midwest, an EMP is generated, the EMP causes all stateside computers to explode, all the TVs melt, all the automobile electrical systems short out, all the cell phones catch fire, basically anything that uses electricity is destroyed.

First off, the EMP I just described is High Altitude EMP (HEMP). This EMP can only be generated if there is a Terra strength magnetic field and a tenuous atmosphere present. A nuke going off in deep space will not generate HEMP. Please be aware, however, if a nuke over Iowa generates a HEMP event, the EMP will travel through the airless vacuum of space just fine and fry any spacecraft that are too close.
...
Thirdly, there is System Generated EMP (SGEMP) to consider. HEMP is created when the gamma rays from the nuclear detonation produce Compton electrons in air molecules, and the electrons interact with a magnetic field to produce EMP. But with SGEMP, gamma rays penetrating the body of the spacecraft accelerated electrons, creating electromagnetic transients.

"SGEMP impacts space system electronics in three ways. First, x-rays arriving at the spacecraft skin cause an accumulation of electrons there. The electron charge, which is not uniformly distributed on the skin, causes current to flow on the outside of the system. These currents can penetrate into the interior through various apertures, as well as into and through the solar cell power transmission system.

Secondly, x-rays can also penetrate the skin to produce electrons on the interior walls of the various compartments. The resulting interior electron currents generate cavity electromagnetic fields that induce voltages on the associated electronics which produce spurious currents that can cause upset or burnout of these systems.

Finally, x-rays can produce electrons that find their way directly into signal and power cables to cause extraneous cable currents. These currents are also propagated through the satellite wiring harness."

^^^^
Well, that would be correct, right? They are call sign changes, as in, the location transmitting is changing, thus the call sign is changing.

You're correct in pointing out that these are call signs that are changing, not codes. Call signs that have been collected over the years, and what they correspond to.

Let's be clear though, what we're seeing now is unusual, at least compared to the past couple of years. It's been fairly rare to here anything but a small set of call signs, until just recently, when we started to hear from lots and lots of call signs.

We also aren't used to hearing "ALL STATIONS, ALL STATIONS" now we here it constantly.

We're also not used to hearing replies to broadcasts.

All of this could have and probably does have a boring, mundane reason behind it, we just don't know that reason. Any way you slice it though, it's anomalous, and anomalies are where the fun's at.
