The message will be sent twice. The message will be preceded by QST QST QST MRCA Code Practice DE KW1I sent three times. The CW is machine generated and is less than 10 WPM. The total transmission time is ten minutes. The signal should be able to be heard in most of the Northeast. This is an opportunity to go through the motions of receiving a clandestine message sent to agents by an espionage communications center. If it is a little faster than your code speed, record it and play it back several times so you can decode it all.  After receiving the message reassemble the message from the groups. If conditions are good, try receiving the message on a small agent set with a compromise antenna.
