[Spooks] 12590 wierdness

[Susan C. Hickey]

Good luck with the Morse (weren't you ever in Scouting? Didn't they make you
do Morse code?)
And a note to everyone on the Spooks list - let's keep the discussions on
topic and not wax poetic over having Ensign Crusher as one of our
contributors...in other words, if I want to chat Trek or other SF-related
stuff, someone can email me personally!!

In the meantime, Wil, I write a column for the Canadian DX Internation Club
mag, the Messenger - any general comments about how you got into DXing in
the first place??? cheers, Sue

Yeah, that's me. *wave*

Thank you, and thank you to everyone else who replied to my question.
I did some googling and found a whole new rabbit to chase. Now I have
to find some Linux software that can decode that stuff, because I'm as
good at decoding Morse as I am at speaking Mandarin.

I don't want to clutter up the list with a lot of chatter, so I'll
just put this here: Late last night (early this morning, actually) I
caught my first ever Numbers station. I've been trying to hear one
since the late 90s, so it was kind of a big deal for me.

I recorded it in my audioblog:
