Great news Norm.
You're one of few that were able to receive and decode it. I read some posts which said they had difficulties getting the Enigma working also some QSB during the code transmission. I missed it, we were out shopping.
You will have to post the certificate when you receive it.
What frequency were you able to receive the transmission?
RE: WW2 German Enigma machine challenge - Ve3nbj - 2022-07-25
I found 17016.8 was the best frequency...I could hear kph on 12808.5 but signal was weak there.
I will post the certificate when it arrives.
I used the simulator on the link provided..took till sunday morning to figure out the m3 inputs. Will have to try this again!
