Trivia

These are actually coordinates that take you to Chaffee Avenue in Fort Knox, KY! Which is directly south-east of the military airfield and north-east of the bouillon depository.

The coordinates when converted from the messages in game read as: Lat 37.892809 Long -85.974709

The only curiosity is that there is no implication of the negative value in the longitude coordinate, which will just simply take you to Xinjiang, China and means little to the actual lore in-game.

Given the regularity of the broadcast and the format, the message is also likely a reference to Numbers stations; shortwave broadcasts of encoded messages that originated around the time of the First World War.
