Could they be running lower power than 100 or 250 KW (due to the nature of the transmissions)? Just curious....
Anyhow, to today's news: Monitoring 5855 at 05 UT today 12/8/2013-- no sign of 'Cuban Lady', so I waited for 07 UT -- and there she was....
The new Cuban numbers sequence is (in this order): 56801 // 22574 // 15441 // 50182 // 08444 // 51835. Note that for some reason, the last number in the sequence was moved to the first position (sort of) and changed to 56801. The other five numbers were unchanged from 12/06/13 transmission but moved one position up in the sequence (no signal found on 12/07/13, thus no report). I have no idea if that's a clue to deciphering the transmissions or not, but for all of you who are into those things -- happy deciphering!!!!
Another thought: since 2
5 =32, could the data transmission be running on a 32 bit file or a 32 bit operating system (as opposed to Windows 7, which can run on a 64 bit system or files)? Continuing my ramble, "A 32-bit file format is a binary file format for which each elementary information is defined on 32 bits (or 4 Bytes). An example of such a format is the Enhanced Metafile Format." -- from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/32-bit. Since these metafile formats date from the 1990s (and the voice machines are apparently as old if not older), can 32 bit computers represent the "state of the art" Cuban technology at work?
If so, my wild idea may mean that we might have to look at these number sequences as pixels of a picture which can be viewed by a Microsoft "Graphics Device Interface" as used in Windows XP-- see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Device_Interface (but only 6 pixels at a time, since each number represents ONE pixel).
In this regard, perhaps China's call for continuing support for Windows XP (see
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2013/120313-windows-xp-china-276547.html?hpg1=bn) may ALSO be a proxy for stating that Cuba needs Windows XP to continue in order to presumably continue their HM01 (at least the "M"[orse] part of their data) transmissions (without actually saying it, since HM01 is an UNOFFICIAL station, after all, Cuba can't just ADMIT TO IT -- can they?
?)....
Finally, have the Cubans ever used the number 9 ('nueve' in Spanish) in their transmissions? Or does it sound too close to 'nuevo' (the word NEW) which might lead to confusion upon hearing from far away (since the use of 'new' could be thought of as the spy equivalent of an 'audible' -- in other words, DISREGARD the prior stuff and use ONLY what follows -- which may not be their intent)?
