Engima Machine Workings - Adam_VE3FP - 2023-01-21
July of 2022 Maritime Radio Historical Society https://www.radiomarine.org/mrhs-events sent a commemorative encrypted message using the WW2 German Engima machine on several HF frequencies as a challenge to those willing to decipher it.
Norm ve3nbj was one who successfully deciphered it. He mentioned it earlier in this forum.
I heard the about the machine but didn't take part in the challenge although I was interested in its working. The other day I came upon the Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybkkiGtJmkM which describes it in great detail. The amazing part it is 99% mechanical operation and quite sophisticated encryption given the era in time.
Worth watching. Enjoy.
