Dead drop retrieved by jdewald on January 5th 2024.

===== Background =====

On December 1st 2023, in message [[:xorfs:18800-18849#section18818|18818]], agent ''AO'' asked Debbie Wright (Field Agent Coordinator at Emtanon) to provide the 2024 edition of the book //[[:books#slate_deposits_in_the_intermountain_west|"Slate Deposits in the Intermountain West"]]//, to be placed into the FEMA Region 9.

The drop location was revealed on December 8th, when the [[:agent_systems#as32|AS32]] code ''18912'', instead of a [[:XORFS]] message, contained the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3LSensF1a8|"Redlight District" by Porcelain and the Tramps]] with PSK31 data mixed in around 0:43–1:11:

The data decodes to:
<file>
/SLATE_DEPOSITS/36.2672339/-115.5279726//
/NOTES/PLACED IN CRACK//
</file>

Around December 19th, the agent who had requested the drop was "eliminated", allowing us to retrieve it instead.
