clean version of the HF administrative announcement is here:

Maybe someone can host is somewhere more permanent for us?

A few things.

As drawbars mentioned above, we listened to the "announcement" on HF. It's very numbers station esque, a female voice saying "attention, attention" followed by a long string of numbers. At the moment we're unsure how to decode it. There was no offset at the end, so we can't decode it like a black OTP message, and it doesn't come up with anything if you try to convert it as decimal.
Also, the call cut off towards the end and we had to redial, so we missed a few numbers. It's hard to be certain that all of them were transcribed correctly due to the crackly, muffled nature of voice over HF. Here are the numbers transcribed: http://pastebin.com/3qAhDRZm ( the ... in the middle is where the missing numbers should be)

So, I've found someone to go get the drop. A guy by the name of Colin who's a reporter for the Hermiston Herald (the newspaper in Hermiston, OR)

He said he'd give it a shot tonight, I gave him all the info he needed to pick it up including the images of the potential book covers.

He's got my phone number and email address, so I'm hoping to hear from him before the night is up.

WOOT!

The Oregon drop was made a little while ago, yes? Perhaps this blue book might help somehow in digesting that HF message.

As Smugtrio said, a kind guy went to visit the drop site for us, but was unable to get there due to road closures (or something). He's going to try again in the next couple of days.

So I went to Vaughnsville Ohio today.

There is nothing there. Literally, they have a USPS and a traffic light. There is absolutely nothing that even resembles government or large corporation building. They don't even have an eat-in restaurant or a McDonald's for that matter.

Most of the houses are pretty dilapidated. Most are flat out abandoned and not livable.

I did not take pictures because there just wasn't anything to take a picture of. Lots of garbage homes, and farm. I might be on IRC tonight for a better explanation, but definitely tomorrow in case of any questions.

The reporter Smugtrio found went out to Wells Springs Cemetery and retrieved the blue book drop!

Pics to follow tomorrow, hopefully

Tangent topic: I'm trying to keep a manifest of all of our drop items, but we have alot of details to fill in. Getting in contact with everyone is also difficult sometimes.

http://otp22.referata.com/wiki/Drop_item_inventory

As you can see from this link, there are many entries that are at Unknown locations.

The wiki could use your help identifying where some of these items are at. If you happen to know the whereabouts of an item, or see something incorrect, let me know!

It looks like J. has caught up with his homework. In the past few days there have been deletions and responses galore on the QX system. I've updated the wiki with these.

Thanks to morningcoffee for tidying it up for me
