https://radiofreeredoubt.com/2017/12/03/young-partisans-otp-practice-exercise/

HOW TO ENTER TO WIN

1.  Use the YULETIDE One Time Pad to decrypt the secret message numbers that you hear Lady Liberty read on the December 15th radio show.  Keep the YULETIDE One Time Pad in a secret place.  This will keep the Grinch from being able to decode the secret message!

2.  Use the Conversion Table below to convert the numbers into the plain text message.  This year, there are letters, numbers, and special characters.  All letters should be upper case, and there should be no spaces in the plain text message.

3.  The decoded message is the secret password for getting you into the Red Ryder 2024 Contest Page (Click below)

4.  Read the story on the Contest Page, and follow the instructions to enter.  Please include your code name, your state, whether you are boy or girl, and your age.

5.  BONUS!  Use the ‘Gabriel’ OTP to encode the secret message provided in the Contest Page to send back to John Jacob Schmidt for an additional contest entry (two chances to win!)

DON’T FORGET…

YOU CAN TALK TO SANTA ON HAM RADIO!

Every night until Christmas Eve!
