The Dead Man Brewing Coffee: Radio Signals That Shouldn't Exist

A woman smelled fresh coffee inside a locked, sealed shaft house that had been unused since 1994, and a dormant utility line that had registered only three kilowatt-hours per cycle for seventeen years suddenly showed 112 kilowatt-hours. What was making a rhythmic clicking through corrugated metal walls like a telegraph key, and who had been living-and then died-inside that building?

In this episode, we follow the sequence of events that led county workers to an occupied shaft house at the Calhoun Drift copper mine, where live electricity, a brewed pot of coffee, and a shortwave setup met the body of a man found four days dead. How did two local listeners independently converge on the same number-station frequency, and what did their logs reveal?

Person: Kimberly Carter
Person: Roy Eakins
Person: Dawn Baker
Location: Calhoun Drift shaft house, Gareth Flats basin
Event: Discovery of an occupied shaft house with a deceased resident

- The building had been sealed since 1994 but the padlock showed no sign of tampering when Kimberly Carter smelled fresh-brewed coffee in June 2011.
- The dormant utility line had recorded no more than three kilowatt-hours per cycle for seventeen years before showing a consumption of 112 kilowatt-hours.
- Roy Eakins returned to the shaft house in April 2010 and set up a solar array, shortwave transceiver, laptop, and battery banks.
- Dawn Baker had been monitoring the same shortwave frequency since 2007 and tuned in every Wednesday at 2:00 a.m.
- Phil Garza filed an interference complaint in early spring 2010 that led Dawn to trace the signal to the shaft house where she found Roy.
