Talk:Station HYPO

message: The name of the operation was a code name and in the US military these are usually written with the cAPS LOCK on. For no particualr reason I have ever known. Fingers led to automatic camel case, unfortunately. Title of the article should be Station HYPO. ww 15:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Just a few lines from an old cryptologist to explain the use of CAPS in military communications.  Modern computers use 8-bit technology which allows for UPPER and lower case characters.  Prior to the modern computer era, all there was were the Teletype Corporation (and Kleinschmidt and a few others) which used 7-bit ASCII. In 7-bit ASCII you have only CAPS and the three rows of letters commonly seen on a computer keyboard.  All punctuation and numbers were the upper case of the three rows, (1st) QWERTYUIOP in "uppers" would be 1234567890, (2nd) ASDFGHJKL; , and (3rd row) ZXCVBNM,.   There was a character which would be similar to CAPS LOCK today to shift up, and another which would UNLOCK the "uppers".  The funny thing about this is that even today, 8-bit has to be converted to 7-bit for its journey across "the Internet" only to be converted back to 8-bit at your computer.  For an example of how CAPS were used in teletype days, in the 1970s, I served some duty at NAVSECGRUDET PEARL (Naval Security Group Detachment, Pearl Harbor).

message: Under the paragraph for "PURPLE diplomatic traffic", there is a link for something called MAGIC, in reference to the cryptography. However the MAGIC is currently linked to a radiio telescope which I'm sure isnt where its supposed to go. Not sure if there is currently a wiki page for the correction MAGIC, but someone should take a quick loot at it and fix it. Coradon 22:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I did some minor rewriting, including the drydock ref, as well as changing, "and so HYPO became less important in any case." HYPO wasn't "less important", more a smaller proportion of the total effort, as Holmes explains.  Trekphiler 04:35, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Here is an example of a "communication keyboard", found on both teleprinter (Teletype, Smith Corona, Klenschmidt, etc.) and on "communication typrewriters" (aka a "mill", by Radiomen, and intercept operators).  It was located right here on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Baudotkeyboard.png  The author of the link offers the description of the picture as "Keyboard of Teletype Model 15, Communications character set, 1944"

message: Why is it that HYPO is put in small caps ("HYPO") throughout this article, and in several linked articles, like Battle of Midway?  I think it should just be "HYPO" in regular capital letters unless there is some great reason that, unlike any other acronym on Wikipedia, we need to be using the small caps.

message: "Later on, a new building was constructed for the station, though it had been reorganized and renamed by then."
This sentence is too weak and ambiguous to be in the Lede.  "Later on" could mean anything.  A month later, a year later, 20 years later, etc... creates an obstacle and interferes with the Reader's interest, and gives nothing in exchange for that negative. Plus if you think about it, it's annoying.  "later on" it was "reorganized" and "renamed" well so what.  Was it also painted a different color?  Were the AC units changed to "something different" "later on".  What about the bathrooms?  Were they different in some way?  I could go on, if anyone fails to get the point here.68.206.248.178 (talk) 01:39, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
