The Wheel Transmission

The "Wheel Transmission" is an odd television signal, only able to be seen on an analog TV set. The origins, like many number stations, are not known, but expected to be related to pirate television and broadcast jamming. The only sets that have been reported to show this signal, which seems to jump from channel to channel, are RCA ones manufactured by companies such as Panasonic and Philips.
The video signal itself is just an image of what appears to be a shape reminiscent of a ship's steering wheel with another wheel in the center and a deranged, detailed face drawn on it, the center wheel forming the nose. The whole image is composed of black, white, and 2 shades of gray. All of which appear in order in the background. For whatever reason, there is also a "middle" gray, which does not appear to have been used in the image.
The parts of the transmission that make some people paranoid are, although cliche, the word "OBEY" briefly scrolls over the bottom of the video. Secondly, there is no audio whatsoever, but all of the few people who have witnessed this signal while testing an old RCA set reported the hum usually emitted by the TV itself to sound "horrid" or "painful". There are also very rarely a set of a few alphanumeric characters scrolling diagonally, usually from bottom right to top left, though other directions were reportedly seen.
Witnesses of the transmission sometimes felt ill or lightheaded afterwards sometimes feeling slightly paranoid, though they had no real symptoms after about 20 to 30 minutes.
==Further Analysis==
After a long time disregarding this bizarre signal, I've decided to look back and see what's new. The message text, which was apparently in regular hexadecimal form, was found to say "DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME" (Myself as well as a handful of people bothered to go look it up). I have picked up this transmission again on one of my own sets (other TV was at a relative's home), but the quality has grown worse. The "OBEY" text is totally absent, but the video seems to flicker at some points. The background noise and screeching are significantly noticable now, even to the point my old Olympus camera could pick them up if I recorded this footage... When it happens. The transmission is infrequent, and can happen as often as once every few hours, or be totally gone for several days. I do not know whether these "difficulties" are errors wherever this is being broadcasted, or if they're intentional delays with some type of meaning. I may just look for a pattern in them as soon as I bring up some new footage. A part I also neglected to mention was that certain elements of the Wheel's face such as the eyes or teeth seem to flicker similarly to when old hardware like an NES is having trouble "sprite multiplexing". Nothing violent or bloody ever appears in the video right now, only odd errors. The background has also become a different... shape...
Now, onto the "second" screen where the hex was found. The text "DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME" could mean one of a few things, if I'm correct:
#The channel is a new number station (why would video be used?!)
#The channel is a hoax (highly unlikely that anyone would go through this much trouble)
#The channel is part of some type of game or ARG
#The channel is a request or invitation for something, hence the hidden message.
The screen is now different than when this broadcast seemed to surface, as it is now in full(?) color. Some type of insane, trippy, colorful background seems to move about under a HUGE series of numbers. At one point, the numbers stop moving and will SOMETIMES, but rarely (like the message appearing at all before), reveal a QR code (this may confirm the station has at least been used in the last few years). I have tried using the code when it is shown three times, taking a picture once to make sure it doesn't vary. It has been the same code for as long as I've bothered to check, but has always lead to a download of a ROM set for the arcade game Pac-Mania. The set runs perfectly in the MAME emulator, but claims the emulation has "Video and Audio" inaccuracies, which the normal ROM sets do not seem to have.
I will upload as much footage of this "new variant" transmission as possible, hopefully with some of the screeches audible and some of the flickering shown. I cannot guarantee the appearance of that elusive QR code, though.
