[Spooks] My first spy station!

By almost total chance (dialing around) I have finally received my first spy 
station!

I cross-referenced with the info on SpyNumbers.com, and it appears to be the 
Cuban station, Enigma ID M8.  However, there are some differences.  It was 
done in voice, not morse.  Language was an automated-sounding Spanish voice 
(all numbers identical sounding).  And it used an M8 frequency of 6797 kHz 
but at a time of 2200z.

Any ideas?  Is this a voice-version of M8 or something else?

BTW, I tuned around for the "Poacher" at the sked given, but couldn't hear a 
peep.  I'm running a dipole cut for 40m up about 25 ft, and not sure if band 
conditions to Cyprus are great right now, but if they were, I'd think I 
would have heard something (at least a weak carrier).
