Hello Spooksters:
At 0525z on 5876m on March 2, 2002 and again at 0403z on 5876m on March
3, 2002 I copied an unidentified numbers station.
The station only sends about 5 WPM, and so far all I have heard from it
is single 5 figure groups of numbers. All the numbers are long except 0 =
T.
His sending fist reminds me of M13, but last night I monitored for 2 1/2
hours and figured he sent over 750 groups of numbers in that time.
Has anyone else heard this station? He obviously comes up before 0403z.
Probably before 0400z because he would need time for callup.
His signal begins to fade out between 0618z and 0632z on the nights I
copied him. He was still in traffic when I just could not make out any
signal.
Please post if you hear him and can make a positive ID on him.
Thanks!
P.S: If you catch him early, he makes good practice copy for those of you
who are just learning morse or are a bit rusty with it. Early on his signal
is strong and slow, but occasionally he throws in an extra "dit" or "dah" in
his numbers. He may just get some of you interested in copying more of the
morse stations than the voice. I honestly believe there are more of them
than the voice stations, you just have to go looking for them.
