Not sure what you are trying to say. The pirate on 3965 kHz is xmiting
these cryptograms, and many people have had success in breaking
them out, partially and wholly. Interesting stuff, and one cannot
help but wonder why the FCC is showing no interest?

I have worked in this field for years. Most pirates broadcasting numbers are
either reading random numbers, or are just having fun with a friend. Unless
they use a very very easy key, nobody is going to actually break it. Now it
is easy to use brute force to eventually get a meaningful message out of the
numbers, but it is almost certainly not the intended message. It is like the
monkeys with a typewriter who, statistically, will eventually type out all
the works of shakespeare by accident.
