Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates!

Decipher the 'Unknown' recording to find the correct coordinates.


Among the belongings of my legendary friend, Masiah, I found a cassette tape labelled 'Unknown'. I pulled out an old four-track cassette recorder and played the tape. It sounded terrible, reminded me of the Spectrum program tapes that were popular in the 80's. I thought it could have been a program for his SwTPc 6800 computer.

For the purpose of this cache listing, I copied the 'noise' to a binary file. This file has NOT been checked for code that might be executable on a modern Windows computer. However, tests on my own computer running Linux did no harm. Neither Groudspeak nor the Geocaching reviewers take responsibility for any consequences of following the following link:
