Hi Jenna,
     If you tune to 8573 or 12673.5kHz, you will find the following call
slip in CW:

CQ CQ DE CLA CLA QSX C/11 8368/12552/16736 TX 8573/12673.5/16961 QSW
CLA20/32/42/50 QRJ C/1217 K

Stn CLA is Cuba; QSX are the frequencies that he will listen to for traffic;
TX are the frequencies that CLA will transmit on simultaneously; QSW are the
callsigns he will use to send traffic (the numerical suffixes of the
callsign equate to a specific frequency, e.g., CLA20 may be associated with
8573, 12673.5 or 16961kHz. You can only associate a given callsign suffix
with a specific frequency when you observe only one callsign suffix (ex:
CLA20) in lieu of the multiple callsigns used in the above transmission
(CLA20, 32, etc.). Hope this helps.
