The National Tropospherics Commission (NTC) was founded in Dundee, Scotland in 2011. The body, comprising of thinkers, artists, musicians, theorists and magicians was formed to investigate various ideas relating to the social and psychological impacts of tropospheric manifestation on the human condition.
Download a copy of the manifesto here.
The Commission’s objectives are:
1. The investigation, collation, dissemination, categorisation, broadcast and publication of materials of, or purtaining to tropospheric manifestations.
2. To understand the internal and external influences excerted on the human condition by the tropospheric network.
3. To produce reports and guidlines based on their investigations, works and practices.
4. To spread awareness of the troposhpere (including, but not limited to morphogenics, sub-resonance, post-cultural premonition, super-context, hive-mind activites and other cross-location synchronicities).

TROPOSHERIC RADIO:
TRANSMISSION NOTICE
***************************************************************************
Cloudcasts by TroposphericRadio on Mixcloud
At 02.35 (EST) on the morning of 23rd May, 2014, during a routine scan of shortwave bands our field agents are known to use, one of our automated remote listening stations near Exton, PA picked up a transmission on a frequency usually devoid of activity.
While we occasionally observe stray interference across our private frequencies, it is generally easily identifiable as such. In this instance the sustained nature of the transmission suggests something intended rather than the result of atmospherics, a stray carrier or other phenomenon.
Lasting exactly one hour, the transmission, as per standard NTC protocol, was captured and sent for analysis which has, as yet, proved inconclusive. Exactly two weeks later, at the same time, a second broadcast was received on the same channel, lasting the same duration and this bi-weekly occurrence has repeated with different content up to the present. This pattern suggests some conscious attempt at communication.
We have as yet been unable to determine the origin and nature of the broadcasts and have therefore requisitioned airtime on Basic Fm and temporarily declassified these transmissions in order to retransmit the anomalies in the hope that they may be decoded or debunked.
As long as the pattern continues, we will re-propagate each transmission in full until such a time that they reach their intended recipients, are decoded or the channel goes dark again.
Retransmission begins at 13:00 (gmt) on 17th of June 2014, on basic fm, and will repeat at the same time every Tuesday and Friday. New broadcasts will be aired bi-weekly for as long as our listening post continues to receive them.
