Radio Project
Goal: Tune a radio to each possible frequency, checking if it gets a The static hisses to a clear silence message (implying the radio frequency is in use by at least one transmitter) or a The radio begins to hiss static message (implying no transmitter is currently tuned to that frequency). By my (extremely rough) estimate, there are 5,480 non-open (i.e. potentially home to a transmitter) blocks in Malton. If 25% of those are regularly occupied (not ruined, abandoned, etc.) and at most 5% of occupied buildings contain a transmitter (based on my observations around the northeast of Malton and while traveling with Big Bash 4), that means around 69 transmitters exist in Malton at any one time. (This means <1 per suburb, which is slightly lower than the number of survivor groups per suburb.) There are 304 frequencies which are accessible to players. If an average in-use frequency has 2 transmitters using it, that means that about 35 of those frequencies are in use, and 269 are not.
- Also note that 25.96 is the External Military Report frequency, and is always active. It will not be listed here.
I plan to begin Sweep Three in late November or (more likely) early December.
Sweep Two (Complete)
Sweep two is happening during the zerg attacks in Darvall.

Sweep One (Complete)
I'm doing another sweep as the ongoing Nazification of SoC/Caiger's radio channel is super annoying and I want to use my handheld radio for other purposes.

- Radio
- This portion of the Great Suburb Group Massacre 2013 is a significant inspiration in my attempting this project. A number of radio frequencies are not attached to on-wiki groups, including regional, mall-based, and "other".
