Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the coordinates posted above.
It's a puzzle.

Who's gonna figure this one out?


Waveforms


Added the following information on 28 January 2005, to simplify this cache puzzle...

Appearing below is an alternate presentation of the waveforms. As you can see there are two groups of smaller sections of the waveforms. Each of the two groups has seven individual sections. How about that! All of these smaller sections of waveforms were extracted from the above image.

Each rectangle below has a portion of two waveforms. In each, the waveform on the bottom is a clock, and the waveform on the top is the data.

Given this information and the alternate image below, this puzzle should now be solvable by more people. Good luck!

Once you have figured out the coordinates, the find should be easy. The coordinates should be right on.

Terrain is easy.
