Given the fuzzy audio quality of the sample, can anyone recommend good audio editing software? For example, I can apparently only hear the low pitches - if there's anything higher it's beyond my ears, so I need to try and see if I can either drop all of it lower or at least clear out the static.

I do a lot of audio work, and used Sound Forge. Audacity is another recommended program. If you're interested, send me a private message and I'll link you to my cleaned up audio.

I cannot hear the morse over his voice. I know it's there, but it isn't clear enough for my damaged hearing I fear.
E: Oh, but it exists elsewhere on the Internet, so it's okay.

Double-posting because I'm not sure what to do with the puzzle I found as a result of that Morse code.

Double-posting because I'm not sure what to do with the puzzle I found as a result of that Morse code. So you solved the morse code? And you know the place that does not exist? Look to a blueblood from the Big Apple when you're stuck finding the address.

Yeah I got that far, I'm now staring at this wheel of pictures and the bits below it.

Don't take this the wrong way, but The solution is so easy a child could do it.

Don't take this the wrong way, but The solution is so easy a child could do it. Given that this appears to be a more noble version of a childhood pastime , two questions 1 - who is that on the left? I've figured out all the rest of them. 2 - Hints on how to proceed? I have a feeling I'm going to have to cut pieces out and physically move them around. Alternatively it's twisted pair wire code and I need the blasted maypole kit to figure out color crossings? .

Do you mean Gene Chandler, famous for his song Duke of Earl? No need to cut anything out. You have a starting point and a direction. The rest is child's play.

I got it yesterday. All of those characters have something in common, except one. If you follow the arrows the answer is under the one who is it

So, in the 24 hour lockouts for the full codes (blasted trial and error for figuring out tag sequences) , I've been pondering this, not that I've gotten any farther, but... This is just my rambling but there are ridiculously massive spoilers to explain my thought processes. Go no further if you haven't solved the other puzzles. In the original long, unsolved message from under the bridge, it said something like 'if I mention apples that means code 1'. Have a look at volume 1.5's pictures... So, I of course then ran jtobcat 's first letter clues in reverse (easy tool here: textmechanic.com/text-tools/obfuscation-tools/reverse-text-generator/) - producing EUIMAU.TDSMGOBAMEFAILDEREWYTRA,TWYLSEAOENUEOAMLWTCU-U-IAEWEHNHNFSIAOITOHHARIAHSSLWANOOETHGGMDIBOHSP.OWNAUUST So, nothing really. But the whole apples == reverse mode is driving me nuts. Also, there's the postcard, which, when solved (difficult to do if you don't have physically, btw, so much thanks to Todd for that) talks about grave danger and a codeword. Looking at the Bestiary for 1.5 shows a Haugbui - or a danger around graves. Still, running the text reversed or in its original through a Vigenere (easy tool here planetcalc.com/2468/) doesn't lead to anything using Haugbui as a cipher. It's bothering me, though. For those curious, to make the reversed text start with 'Andrew' as suggested above, you'd need a key of "ehfvwy" which leads to gobbledly gook for the rest. Am I maybe conflating puzzles and Haugbui is a clue for something else? Will keep looking. Maybe New Years' champagne will knock something loose. (aka questioning my decision to finally get around to poking into my curios and conundrums back issues over the holidays in my free time) Not a bad line of thinking, but I'm not sure it's quite the direction to go. For one thing, the "apples" clue said that word referred to cipher 1. The ciphers on the Bridge Letter were numbered, and number 1 was a simple mirror/reversal of text. It was ciphers 2 and 3 that were the Vigenere and Caesar, respectively. With regards to the postcard, in (I believe) Chapter 3, in the "New York Socialite" article, Victoria Bachman mentions receiving a seemingly blank postcard with (IIRC) a fez on the front (so, the same one the subscribers received with their curios). In Chapter 4, she (and the subscribers) subsequently received an encoded message, which was a Vigenere cipher. The keyword for this cipher was hidden on a small wooden disc that also came with the curios. The "Find Keyword. Grave Danger." message was therefore seen as telling Victoria/the subscribers that she/they would a) need to find a code word and b) were in grave danger. In short, I could be wrong, but my own feeling is that neither of those things are connected to the numbers in the second broadcast. In terms of what has been tried, I know that we tried the book cipher method with each of the three mentioned texts ("Hamlet," "Beowulf," and the Gospel of Luke), as well as each of Shakespeare's plays, all to no effect. I don't know what else others may have tried, but if anybody has found a message in those numbers, they have not come forward with it.

I'm a little late to this one.
Does anyone have a transcription of the morse code? I, too, cannot make sense of the boobs and dings over the speaking.
Thank you in advance to whoever can help.
