[Spooks] Re: 5027Khz

[Ralph Cameron]

You're correct Mark, I always was a sloppy typist but will take more care in
future.  It should also be 5L groups and not 5F groups. I did not record
this one but plan to in future. The format of 555 has changed to shorter
messages and shorter destinations if that's what the repeated preamble
refers to. I have many complete transmissions from the is station which went
silent early this Spring. I have a feeling the trransmitter has changed
because the keying is much smoother and free from clicks etc.

I can easily compare the characteristics graphically  from what is heard
today to what was heard ten months ago. It may be an interesting exercise.
My main interest is CW and there's never enough time to log them all.
Thanks for your comments.
