[Spooks] Sam on 6500 khz

[Zack Widup]

I've been listening since 2330Z.  At first, I only heard 6500 and 10500 
kHz.  A couple people speaking Spanish on 10500 seemed to be freaking out 
about it - they could evidently hear it.  Who they were, I don't know.  I 
don't speak Spanish.

As propagation changed with the sun setting here, I began to hear Sam on 
4300, then 3700.  For a while I could hear him on all four frequencies, 
3700, 4300, 6500 and 10500.  Then 10500 faded out.  I can still make him 
out on 6500 but weaker right now.  Best are 3700 and 4300 at the moment.

The timing seems different now, too.  The spynumbers website says 
transmissions i the past started at units of 7 seconds.  Tonight they are 
on ther 3-second mark (02:53:43, 02:53:53, etc.)
