Dear Friends:

I happened to be up very early the morning of January 9 taking care of a sick 
XYL. When I couldn't get back to sleep, I decided to pass the time by 
scanning various bands. To my utter surprise I began to hear almost perfect 
CW at about 12-13 WPM on 10.126, so I tried the old "see if you can copy this 
in your head" trick. It seemed to make no sense, so I got out pencil and 
began to copy by hand. 

To my utter surprise there was almost perfect code in random five letter 
groups. This went on from about 3:20 AM (CST) to 3:30 AM. Then off about four 
minutes. Then on again for about ten minutes. Then off. Then back for a 
shorter time. There was no ID nor call letters given. Occasionally there was 
a series of several "AR" or "BT" or a string of "v." All in very strong 
signals, very rigid character, extremely easy to copy, but at the same time 
puzzling. 

Does anyone know who is doing this? Surely no ham would just blatently do 
this with no ID? Or would they? Or have I stumbled onto some non-ham services 
which also use these frequencies? Was this some clandestine communique in 
some strange code? Does anyone on this forum know?
