What are we transmitting?

—devadutta @ 15:40

Inspired by “Numbers Stations” ( and other Sci-fi movies I have been watching lately), Boiledbeans will transmit encrypted data starting at 2000 PST on November 29, 2009 ( 0930 IST on November 30, 2009) .

You can reach the transmission here
bbxmitshot

Your goal is to decode the transmission and post the answer here.

The first one to decode correctly will receive 5 points and a trophy!

This transmission is fairly simple and easy to decode and anybody else who decodes it will get 2 points. We will accept answers for decoded transmissions until 2 days after we receive the first correct answer.

Update: The transmission has begun!
