[Boatanchors] Five Letter Group CW Station

[Bill Stewart]

I checked out the newsletter and holy cow...those folks are serious about spy stations. I didn't realize that there was still that much 'radio intrigue' still going on. Makes me want to start doing more SWLing. The first story was about a spy apprehended back in 1957. He was using a S-38D as a receiver. I guess that's one reason some of the broadcasts are using such big signals..marginal receivers in the field. I also saw a couple of listings near the 8125 freq. Thanks, guys, for the good info and interesting links.

I was just (+/- 2:30pm est) tuning around with the HQ-140X, looking for CHU, when I ran
across a very strong station sending five letter code groups on MCW at maybe 20wpm around
8125 kc. The signal strength was against the pin  with no QSB, well maybe a few db. They
stayed against the pin for maybe ten minutes then sent a few ARs and SK and stopped

Its a very high probability that you heard the station from Cuba
