[Milsurplus] Late-Night Coolness

Couldn't get to sleep last night, so I turned-on my little
portable shortwave receiver and tuned around.
Freq readout is pretty crude, but at around 5875 I heard 
the spanish "numbers" lady.  Just below her, at about 5870,
there was a strong station sending 5-letter code groups at
about 20 WPM in mode A-2.  Man, it was good to copy code
someplace besides the ham bands again.  
Happily copying those groups in my head, 
I finally drifted off to sleep.  No telling to whom they
were sending, but I hope they hang around for awhile.
