[@OxfordShortwaveLog]

Thank you!

[@OxfordShortwaveLog]

HM01 is one of the strongest stations on shortwave here in the south central US-- rather better than Radio Havana, even (?) I'm constantly mystified by those metallic tones and whooshing sounds.

[@OxfordShortwaveLog]

Thanks for the info. Yes, those tones are rather odd and don't appear to add any value to the coded message - adds to the mystery though! 73

Between this jrc 525 and the jrc 535 wich one should I choose and why?

[@OxfordShortwaveLog]

I don't know as I've never used the 535. All I can say is the 525 is simply awesome! 73

[@Alessioalessio-qv1ff]

Yes built quality is way better than many

[@OxfordShortwaveLog]

Very true.

@@OxfordShortwaveLog there is an American government used . Jensin Watkins? That had a switched supply inside 🤢. Instead of a transformer like the amateur used jrc's

[@OxfordShortwaveLog]

It's a numbers station

[@Alessioalessio-qv1ff]

@@OxfordShortwaveLog and what is the significance of those numbers and the purpose of that station ?

[@OxfordShortwaveLog]

It's a coded message to their spies apparently - decoded using something called a one-time pad. Have a look on Google. 73
