[ TRANSMISSION ]: ★ BULA! SOUTH PACIFIC NOVA HART RELAY ★

★ Bula Vinaka!

Bula! My name is Seru (Savusavu). In the Pacific, we pick up the 14.2 Hz carrier across the ocean at night on shortwave.

★ 14.2 Hz Ionosphere Scan

Ionospheric skip measurements show a pure, uncorrupted 14.2 Hz spike over the ocean at 02:14 UTC.

 Frequency (Hz) | Level (dB) | Spectral Density [FFT 4096]
----------------+------------+--------------------------------
  10.0 Hz       |  -64 dB    | *
  14.2 Hz [PEAK]|  -42 dB    | ************************** [CARRIER]
  18.5 Hz       |  -68 dB    | *
  50/60 Hz      |  -52 dB    | ******* [MAINS HUM]

★ A Sceptic's Counter-Argument

Everyone says 14.2 Hz is a secret code. I say it's a sub-harmonic of something in the mastering chain. Prove me wrong. (Someone did, sort of. I'm still sceptical.)
