 		Okay, I have posted the transcript for the sixth transmission on the Something Is Coming wiki. Sorry it wasn't up sooner, I had a busy weekend. Just a thought, I think that Staff of the Magi Productions may have used another holiday for an event. The 25th, the day Dave Dolan was murdered, is ANZAC day down in Australia here Smile .

The story seems to be proceeding along very slowly, and I think there might be something of significance we missed. I guess we'll find it though, I'm going to have yet another go at the fifth tansmission soon.

I am still wondering about the dates in the planner, and the transmission dates. I did find a couple of significant findings:

More Holidays connected to the ARG

Unfiction member The Core noted that Dave Dolan was murdered on an Australian Holiday called ANZAC.

Other recent holidays worth noting in the ARG is that Easter 2009 Father Sheamus O'Shaunessy posts his BLOG

Another Holiday worth noting is Friday the 13th, March 13, 2009. The transmissions are giving dates. Transmission One states that it was "Recorded March 19, 2009, Six days after Appearance of Barrier" If you count back 6 days, that leads you to Friday the 13th, March 13, 2009. This is the 2nd time Friday the 13th used in the ARG.

Another holiday worth noting is Memorial Day 2008. It is discovered that if you look at clue in the planner (Friday the 13th - February 13, 2009) it states "Day 260". Counting back 260 days leads to approx. Memorial Day Weekend 2008.

Memorial Day 2009 is approaching soon; Will this day be significant?

 		The seventh transmission transcript has been uploaded to the Something is Coming wiki. In the transmission, I noticed the static/interference is still there, but it seems quieter. Maybe there's something there.

 		Transmission Eight is up - I am looking at the transmission now. Randy Dolan expresses confusion at the transmission, I think there may be a message hidden.

 		That's got to be morse code, two tones, repeating short tone sequences, I think I could hear certain letter combinations but I'm really crappy with morse, remember that electronic toy from the 70's "Simon" or somesuch where you had to repeat tone/colour sequences, I was the worst person ever at that. Still, I'm convinced this is morse.

codes
also...don't know if it means anything, but in the father's blog the word expect is bold and the word evil is italics.

Expect evil?

 		I've had a look at the possibility of Morse Code - I thought the short, higher toned sound might represent a dot, while the lower tone would represent a dash. however, this doesn't form recognisable letters, so I inverted this and got the following sequence of letters.

ZPGWLDTYLWZOQPGTWLDTYLWZOYPGTWLDTYLWZONPNTWLWZOR

I ran this through the Rot-It tool, but I didn't get anything recognisable there. Though the letters LDT turn up three times - perhaps this is the word 'the'?

 		I'm not really sure morse code is the way we want to go on this....I thought it was rather interesting that the entire time the beeps were going on...it was a thunderstorm clearly being heard the entire time. Why allow us to hear a storm? It just doesn't make any sense. Is there any way the sounds can be taken apart? Maybe if we could listen to each part of the recording seperately...we might find the message we're supposed to be hearing...

Here is broadcast 5 without the voice or misc noise, just sounds like beeps and boops



Can you do the same thing for us with the May 7, 2009 broadcast? Maybe we can get the code better.

 		Well Mekdahl, we can take the sound of the storm out, but it will be harder to get a track with just the beeping (mainly because there is no part of the track with just the beeps, if I remember correctly). I can still have a go at it, and I'll upload a track of the transmission minus storm as well.
Though as I think about it further, the thunderstorm does seem a bit senseless at the moment. You could argue it was used to mask the sound of the beeping, but I could distuingiush between both beeps the entire time, while the storm was going...

EDIT: Well here's the sound of the beeping without the storm anyway.

 		Edited Transmission 4 on the wiki... Most noticeable was the word "muders and (unintelligible)" which is actually mortars and claymores...

Also Hendrix and "Joplin", plus some other minor edits on stuff that wasn't understandable.

Will try to work on the others also. Sorry I haven't been much help so far.
