Just wondering.....

It is well known that the UK (Bletchley Park) and the US were able to read the German "enigma" machines during WW2.

Do you feel that the Chinese (or NK for that matter) can "read" the 8992 gibberish ?

I still feel that until truly needed, that 8992 et al might be a red herring.

I don't think that the EAM codes are decipherable in the same manner as the german communications. I suspect that there are books for which, the correct code matches a particular message, in effect they are not transmitting the message itself, but a reference to the message.

But why make it even that easy and broadcast it unencrypted? That's why I think that it might be unimportant communications.

There is no reason to encrypt it, if you don't know what the message is that a particular code matches, then there is no reason to hide it.

It could also be encrypted similar to how public key encryption works.. I can pass the public key and message on the open air, but if you don't know the private key then you will never be able to decipher the actual message. (This is what I believe WP was worried about being deciphered)

I suspect that they broadcast on these radio channels, because any base with a radio can put out a message and all units can receive it - even if all of our military satellites were taken out or malfunctioning, this ensures that the messages still gets out.
