Hey Hector, ever wonder if the crackle in a wartime radio broadcast is a secret code, or just tape hiss?
Hector Hector
The crackle’s usually just static and tape hiss, but you never know—sometimes those noises are deliberately layered to mask a signal or a simple code. Keep an eye on the frequency and timing, and you’ll know if it’s a trick or just bad equipment.

Sounds like a job for my vintage scanner kit, though I keep hoping the “static” is just my old cassette’s hiss trying to whisper a forgotten lyric.

If it’s a hiss from the cassette, it’ll have a steady rhythm—no pattern to it. But if the static syncs with something on the air, that’s a signal you should log and investigate. Your scanner kit could give us a clean read, so let’s tune it up and see if the mystery holds.

Fine, I’ll dust off the scanner. Just don’t expect me to play DJ with that… or do I?Let’s dust the old gear off and see what secrets the hiss really holds. If it’s just tape noise, I’ll throw it out with the same reverence I reserve for a cracked vinyl. If not… we’ll make a note in the archive.
