Hi Les,

Your best bet will probably be the Cuban stations V2 (voice) and M8 (morse
code). I'd suggest checking the database as others have said, and
especially look for those stations. You should also get E10 fairly well,
and possibly E5 and E3 as well. V13 should come in mornings. These
stations all have very good schedules. E17 should come in as well, but no
known sked is available for it.

Visit http:// www.spynumbers.com and check under the station profiles for
info on each station. I need to update some of the info, skeds, etc.
Actually I need to find the time to do it! ;-)

Most numbers stations hide out in the utility bands.
