[Spooks] Sam on 6500 khz

Yes; it appeared the transmissions after that (10 second mark) were 
stronger here.  

I don't have a 40m beam but I'm guessing the station is in the USA (don't 
ask me why; it's just a "hunch".)  Maybe next time it shows up I can get a 
friend with a 40m beam to get a heading on it.

I also wonder what the buzz at the very beginning of each transmission is.  
I didn't have the rig hooked up to the computer at the time; I've been 
doing some rewiring.  Maybe next time I can see just what that "buzz" is.
