> This evening, February 26, 2017 at 1740 (5:40)EST and 2020 (8:20) EST in the vicinity of 3570 kHz there will be a agent message transmission. 53 five letter groups will contain a plain text message continuing the text sent in the last agent transmission. The message will begin and end with a group made up of five "V" characters. 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 approximately 10 WPM. The total transmission time is near 20 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.
