[Spooks] V2a and SK01 at 18MHz

[Brandon Longo]

I do think that these may possibly be fakes. The SK01 transmissions left the little burst of FSK that DIGTRX uses. It sounds like someone just button-mashed the tuning frequency generator button (the tones that are before SK01 data) and clicked transmit. However, I did notice the characteristic low modulation. As for V2a, I'm unsure about it for now. The callups seem right (ends in 1 or 2), but the lack of "Atencion" is peculiar. I may or may not recall hearing a V2a at 5883 with callups at the end of the transmission -- and no "Atencion", and same format. I need to look around the band for those stations and check for consistency. 

Pedro seems to either be sleeping on the job, or the Cuban stations are changing schedule for the solar cycle (if it matters to them).

What is interesting that in the V02a call up : 73661 86181 00422, whilst it is 
repetitive there's no 'Atencion!' stated at the start of each round.

Real or fake? I know Pedro makes mistakes but I don't think I've heard or seen 
comment on this one before.

Are these frequencies new, or did I not notice these earlier?
