[CW] Numbers Station

[Bruce Prior]

I hear it on 7015.0 kHz now. It's about 50 % copyable are S-3, just above the noise level in Blaine WA. Now the transmission has stopped. It sounds machine-sent.

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?

Hi,

as I checked latest Enigma 2000 newsletter as same as the stations list v.1.3 there is nothing active around 7015...

Are you sure it was not some training session from W1AW :)

Martin:

This is quite interesting.  I had never heard of a “numbers station” before this morning’s e-mail and my reading the Wikipedia’s description of them.  Now I am quite curious.

Did you happen to catch the station’s call sign?  Was there any answer to the broadcast?  How strong was the received signal at your location?  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?

As I said... a quite interesting issue.

Morning All.  I am and have been a very early morning riser...love to tune the bands while drinking coffee.  This morning I came across a "Numbers Station" on 7014.9.  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.

Anyone else noted this station?
