AI5BM is probably a call sign for who ever is using the Radio. With is being repeated 3 times like SOS, its safe to say they did that to make it noticed. Also the BM is Probably Black Mesa, and AI5 is either the location for the Biodome and its call sign or the general Black Mesa Site. with it being from the Biodome, that means its probably intended to come from the Radio thats under the stairs. And this is probably a initial link to get that Clue. Just a thought.
Thinking about the AI5BM, could the I be actually a 1? making it A15BM, that would add up to the Room A15 Black Mesa, on Floor one of the Biodome?
thank you! i had been for some reason expecting the cursor to change (which of course doesn’t really make sense for things supposed to be secret!). have found both spaces now.
could there be any significance to the 7023.20 and 09 displayed on the radio?
I’ve been expecting same thing. 
I was thinking same thing, about frequency, but I didn’t find anything, or any radio station…
Also I noticed few thing while looking more into ranger rci-6300f25 ham/cb (radio):
- 7023,20 if frequency, but we all already knew that
- the button that turns on radio says “Hi” or “H1” (https://digichar.com/imgs/a/c/m/s/i/ranger_rci___6300f25_cb_radio_3_lgw.jpg)
On Stormseeker website if you type something as link, you get “OMG HAI”
Its Hi / Lo probably for the brightness for the screen. As it as Dim underneath it.
“OMG HAI” thing is his 404 message, meaning anything that doesn’t exist on his host will say “OMG HAI”.
Even though we’ve already scoured most (if not all) of Questionable Ethics, I decided to take a quick look in-game to see what’s up. There are two A15 labs - A15a, the “Audio Spacial Test Chamber”, and A15b, the “Audio Spacial Control”. Unfortunately, but somewhat unsurprisingly, they’re both on the other side of the huge, broken containment lockdown door near the beginning of the chapter.
Having said that, just past that door, we find another “The Pizza is a LIE!” scribble, and that coded cipher message thingy (the one that just looks like a bunch of squares and some triangles). Interesting, but I don’t think there’s anything here… Or at least, not in-game.
The turned on radio has different link, in base 64 of course.
After I decoded it it says:
I never suspected such things could be…
Why must you be one step ahead of me?
Here’s the actual Base64 code as the file name:
SSBuZXZlciBzdXNwZWN0ZWQgc3VjaCB0aGluZ3MgY291bGQgYmUuLi4=
Additionally, these are new. Neither the radio, nor the “contact us” at the bottom were available on the page.
The encoded scripts are updated, on both localdesertsingles AND kxbm.net/article, which adds the clickable spots and the morse code.
And the morse code is dynamic. It’s not a file playback.
I’m going to check the top directory in a bit.
EDIT: Checked, nothing new there.
Here’s the morsecode extracted right from the sourcecode: https://pastebin.com/7keuyUuJ
(every space takes as much time as a short beep)
How da hell did you extracted it from source code?
EDIT: I can’t decode it using online decoders, since I there are too much spaces.
Quick Question: Has anyone actually tried sending an email to tim@kxbm.net? One would think that since it’s a clickable link that directs you to composing an email that it would a sort of cue for people to send something there.
EDIT:
Removed edit because it’s redundant.
EDIT2:
Sent an Email. Came back as an error.
https://i.imgur.com/Q4cUcQl.png
unsure whether this is significant in any way. or if it’s just what happens when you try to do this.
Still new to this, but that email error looks suspiciously like those other Base 64 things.
Also, I had a thought. What if, in AI5BM, the “AI” represents that it’s an AI? IIRC HALOS is an AI, right? That doesn’t really explain the 5 bit though…
I’d like to second the request of where you found it. I can’t locate the source for anything related to the secret buttons.
That article page isn’t HTML. It’s PHP. Go to a non-existant page after it and you’ll see
Example: https://www.kxbm.net/article/test
“The requested URL /article/index.html/test was not found on this server.”
If it was actually html then it wouldn’t be written like that.
For example: https://www.kxbm.net/test/test
The requested URL /test/test was not found on this server.
It actually IS an HTML file and not PHP.
Try going to “https://www.kxbm.net/article/index.php”. It’ll throw out a 404 file.
Then go to “https://www.kxbm.net/article/index.html”. It’ll work fine.
“The requested URL /article/index.html/test was not found on this server.” error is actually because of a bad htaccess file.
Let me explain:
He probably set it up so anything after “/article/” would put it after “index.html”. So you put “/article/test”, and it translates to “/article/index.html/test”. And that doesn’t exist, of course.
Edit:
That’s why having article/?whateverthehellitishere works just fine, because it translates to index.html?whateverthehellitishere, and anything after ? isn’t picked up by HTML pages unless the webserver intercepts it.
Also I believe 1942rob extracted the morse code from the inline script. I also found it but didn’t know how to translated it to dashes and dots. Anyway, it directly translates to:
EDIT2:
The clickable spots are added by the same inline scipts, and “contact us” down below literally goes to just https://steampowered.com and that’s all.
There are some really long variables with unicode/hex escape characters in some of the javascript files on the page, has anyone tried to decode them?
This is one scriptfile
https://www.kxbm.net/article/assets/V2l0aCBteSBicmFpbnMgYW5kIHlvdXIgYnJhd24sIHdlJ2QgbWFrZSBhbiBleGNlbGxlbnQgdGVhbS4=
Another is inline in the source for the “Live feed” page (at the bottom of the page), but this one is related to the noise on the page I think (\U2593 is a pxielated unicode character)
(function(){var _0xc0ff=["\u2593\u2593\u2593\u2593\u2 ...... long string.... \u2588","\x6C\x6F\x67"];console[_0xc0ff[1]](_0xc0ff[0]);}());Edit:
Or maybe this is the “console” ascii-art of the headcrab and the g-man?!
Extracting the morsecode involved dumping whatever was eval’ed in this: https://www.kxbm.net/article/assets/V2l0aCBteSBicmFpbnMgYW5kIHlvdXIgYnJhd24sIHdlJ2QgbWFrZSBhbiBleGNlbGxlbnQgdGVhbS4=
which resulted in: https://pastebin.com/W5CSFpk9 (beautified/unescaped)
Then, I /just/ had to interpret the code 
The data that contains the morsecode is:
64ab95eca3a4c9d56841ec8f55c641f4a2a16924c08ca862584605736908c0aca8e296ac07f1e70ec28aecc05c882d537ecc085e624b096bc05af17d260ca42c51e96282ee60c0ad0c762767c2868a1acf82490585c0ce085e62c62505ab719e6624e295…
where
every even number >= 4 is a dot [52ms beep],
every odd number >= 4 is a line [52ms3 beep],
every even number < 4 is a space [52ms3 pause],
every odd number < 4 is a slash [52ms*7 pause].
