AWESOME article Patriotman!
Your write-up nails the encryption/decryption far better than the instructions that comes with the OTP. I spent a few days coming up with a aide to do much of the work of adding or subtracting using Excel. The problem with that of course, the message will live on your computer post encryption/decryption; However, if you use a Brevity Matrix as part of the comm the additional layer of decryption will help a lot.
Last, what a great way to send encrypted comms in a SHTF scenario via UHF, VHF, or HF frequency’s using a Fldigi program. Just keep in mind that current FCC laws do not allowed sending encrypted messages during peacetime. GREAT JOB.
It might be fun, while using digital like Fldidgi, to send a OTP comm at the end of a broadcast like Voice of [insert country here].
Looking forward to future articles on this subject. 73 & Peace Brother.
