It seems like they added some distortion to the audio in the numbers
broadcast. They don't want to lose any viewers to shortwave radio.

Fun to catalog the technical errors ... like Peter removing a transistor
from the PCB without desoldering it ... or the soldering torch that the
shape-shifter used to insert it in the first place, which curiously made a
whirring sound like a drill! Also the private pilot talking to a tower on
an HF frequency, and in AM mode no less ... wasn't all that decommissioned
ages ago?


* *Actually, no.


Ok, but then the HF aero comms were all USB, and the numbers station was
tuned in AM mode. The pilot never changed modes on his receiver ...


* *HF aero comms are not all USB. Some are. Most are still AM. This
is due to the ability of AM signals of very low level to be noticed
while other comms are taking place, facilitating discovery in an
emergency when conditions are less than ideal.


Where are there any AM aero comms on HF? VHF and UHF, yes, but I haven't
heard any AM aero comms in, well, as long as I can remember, if ever.

Aero comm is mostly in USB on HF. Have not heard them in AM
lately,maybe a l-o-o-o-ng time ago it was. Amelia Earhart used it in
the 30's..
