Petr,

Yes, I am quite sure it was NOT W1AW.  Apparently there is now something active around 7015. Of course I do not know if it was a "training" message or not.  I don't think W1AW sends coded groups?

Were the C.W. characters perfectly formed (indicating machine-made) or were they formed by a human operator?  If a human operator, do you think it was straight key, bug, or what?

Not too long ago, these number stations were pretty common but this is the first I've heard in a couple of years.  Sending 5 digit coded groups at about 15WPM on 7014.9.  Ended message with a PAUSE then AR at 1010Z.  Now silent for quite a while.
