[Spooks] Automated Spy Numbers Loggings

[Utility World (Hugh Stegman)]

Yes, your tutorial is accurate.  This is a confirmed M8a weekly sked, and
it's been written up by the hams any number of times.  The FCC knows about
it and the FBI knows about it, and presumably other people who don't make
their activities public also know about it.

Not much they can do, really.  The band is shared with utilities that were
in there before it was used by amateurs.  There's also Venezuelan military,
an unid RTTY encrypted station, and of course the German Weather Department
on 10100.8 with good old DDK9.

>A ham operator just posted a message to an amateur radio DXing group
yesterday complaining about some station on 10126 sending 5-letter groups
and QRMing the band.  He wanted to know if the FCC could do anything about
it.  I gave him a tutorial on spy numbers. :-)
