Glenn Beck and Code

Alright all you hams. I think I finally figured out what the code is on the Glenn Beck radio show's top of the hour intro. It has been bugging me for some time. Here is what I got:

BC Ü TA0WBC 031950 Ü OFFSHORE RATER I

Do you have any idea where this may have come from? It almost looks like a net header. I'm not sure about the umlauts.
 
If you listen to the Glenn Beck radio show come on at the top of the hour you will hear a string of Morse Code characters. That's what I'm referring to.
 
I was a morse intercept operator in the Air Force, and I'm also an amateur radio operator. I need to listen to that code. Most of the time a morse signal at the beginning of a public transmission is usually the station call sign. I'll try to listen to Beck and figure it out.

I was an elint op in the Navy. We only had to do morse for our rating exams. I never was very good at it.

I have wondered about that code at the beginning of Glenn Beck's radio programs.
 
Supposedly the Ü is a linefeed (or break) character, so this might be a teletype message meant to look like this:

Glenn Beck himself has said that he has no idea wht it says; he and his producer randomply pickked it out of some sound effects that they had on-hand.

Were you on P-3's? I was on the RC-135 Rivet Joint platform.

_ _ . . _ _ (symbol "BT" or "BK") is normally a line break. The more I think about it looks like a maritime marker of some type.
 
I suspect that the "code" is simply some super secret LDS thing (like the weird underwear) that Mr. Beck, a very public Mormon, uses to communicate with his co-religionists. You won't get it until you get your marriage blessed in the temple in Salt Lake City. :lol:

That is funny!

If you want to freak out your Christian friends in the locker room go out and buy yourself a pair of UnderArmour white boxers and an UnderArmour white T-shirt. They look amazingly like the LDS undies. I got quite a look a few weeks ago. ;)

You got out in '66? Wow. You're old. :lol:


I got out in '66, too. Out of diapers. :)

It's a good thing you two are superior beings on the PB. I might have to fling my walker at you.

Seriously, from your photo your SA site I would have never guessed you were that old.

I know this might sound crazy, but did you know a Ronald Heaser? I worked with him a few years ago in Grand Forks, ND and he used to be a morse intercept operator in the Air Force back in the 80's...

His name doesn't sound familiar. I was stationed at RAF Chicksands, England (6950th ESG) and Offutt AFB, Nebraska (6949th ESG). I was TDY to the 6990th at Kadena AFB in Okinawa.

What years were you in? I know he was only a morse intercept operator for his first 4 years he was in, then he cross trained into Air Traffic Controll (my afsc)

Yes, Mr. Carpathia, those puritanheads on the internet did check out the code, as we were tipped off. But a few of them seem to have just enough knowledge about morse code to simply get the basics. They're on a different track, so our code is not compromised. Actually, because of the theological bent of these guys, they wouldn't have believed it even if they did figure it out. Not one of them even considered that anyone would combine languages.

And the idea of literal Jews embracing their beloved Messiah exactly as the Bible says they will seems utterly preposterous to them. Don't worry, we can keep counting... and planning... Eventually both numbers will be 144,000, then we'll have them marked and ready for assimilation. Bwahahahahahahahaha.

:p

Now that is creative. How long did you work on that?
 
Probably about 10 to 15 minutes. It just sort of came to me... :eureka: ;)

We're in big trouble if anyone finds OFFSHORE RATER II
