Just saw on the recently played list that there is a Forecast 10 out now. Will be interesting to see where folks have shifted and if Wriggler is on the map or what.

I've just received this e-mail

ENTER CALL SIGN (8 char. max):
ENTER DIRECTION (N, E, S, W, NE, NW, SE or SW):


So I suppose I'm restarted. I used the same call sign and went South.

From now on, new AMNA-A stream recordings will automatically be uploaded in mp3 format to dropbox (LINK). Let me know if any of the tracks are cut off at the beginning or end. I can add padding to the recording window to prevent that, if necessary.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The voice was distorted much more than usual in Forecast 10. The message also began with "No storm today, no storm tomorrow." Hopefully that means Absurdus isn't going to kill more of us! Smile

WhatIsTruth really does look reset. Both of the Absurdus tanks are butterflies now and they remained stationary.
I should be able to land on A#11 in 6 turns (unless I'm wrong about how East works). It's one of the 2 spots that seem like they might be goals.
Flokki just landed 2 spots below Butterfly Signora, which is also another possible goal. West could get Flokki there in 2 turns if it doesn't do something random... which West sometimes does.
Sadly, Solartary didn't make it into this forecast. =/

The upload link is awesome. Great work there. I had been trying to scour about for solutions to keeping a closer monitor on the radio station.

I notice on the station there is a track that tends to repeat in sets called Ascend, which is missing atm from the Dropbox.

As far as typing up loose ends goes, we still don't know what the Dutch and Japanese numbers are for, right? I think we're missing a couple of transcriptions, but I could probably get them done this week if we still think they're unsolved.

While looking back for Unsolved Mysteries (as Endzo aptly called them), I found this in an HTML comment on the Ascensionism archive page:

Nice find. I'd gone source code scouring previously, but either I forgot to check the base page or it was changed since I looked.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Now we have to wonder if the message is in reference to past events a year or so ago (Opus Movement 2 which we don't have a backup of and only one picture reference to) or more recent (Forecast).


Just found another tidbit on the Contact page:

I saw the English wav files in the dropbox. Did you manually add those or were they broadcasted?

Oops, I should have mentioned that I put those in there myself. They're recordings that WhatIsTruth and afternoonofthefaun got from the RAQ number a couple weeks back, but I don't think the transcriptions are 100% verified.

Finally tuned into the English recordings and compared them to what others had posted. My guesses:

WhatIsTruth's transcripts of the Dutch and Japanese recordings have about 499-501 digits, too.

What worries me with all of the number recordings is that the original folks had some events that yielded number recordings too and they never found a decryption for them.

That's also where it dropped off it seems.

Another new thing. I tried calling the 320 number to see if anything changed. After entering the 8 digits from the MANIFESTO video it now says

"Enter pin or dial 54 to continue" instead of A A A

I tried dialing other numbers and it says "sorry that wasn't a valid option"

But when a enter 59 based on the current twitter post it says what sounds like "Nada" and then disconnects.

We have a new Twitter message:

And blurry Facebook image:

Green Japanese in the image:

Which translates to Fumizuki. It seems this can refer to July, or a naval battleship used during WW1.

Looks like we roughly posted at the same time ^^ I just spent too long on the kanji before submitting.

I think the last 2 Alphacrypto keys might have a W in place of a V.

They're probably all Keyed Caesar cipher keys, but it looks like we're collecting more keys than clues right now. Hmm...

Thanks for catching that. I updated those in the spreadsheet.

Yeah, it makes me wonder if we're missing an information source beyond Twitter, Facebook, Ascension Records, and Radionomy.
