Dear all in Spooks



It's far from easy to participate in US phone nets with only 100 W and a 
simple antenna from down here in the SW Pacific,? however listening via 
a Stateside SDR is very easy.
For evidence of how easy take a look at the RandomGram # 45 results.? ? 
 ? RG is not exactly divorced from Spooks.? After all, 5-character 
groups are still /de rigueur/for present-day HF number stations.? Take a 
look at URL??? groups.io/g/randomgram?? and perhaps participate later 
this month in event # 46.?? RG events are consistently busy and 
convivial,? courtesy is the catalyst for gaining points.



Still going down the same 'old-Spooks' road but this time with a 
military flavor.? Two of us in Oceania have just kicked off 'Morse with 
Purpose' in which option #12? offers an achievement badge for exchanging 
Enigma traffic.??? Take a look at URL groups.io/g/mwp?? ? ? ? MWP caters 
for all tastes!??? We intend to add a? 'One Time Pad' badge? after 
seeing how well the other challenges are taken up.




73? & 77? de Stan? ZL3TK

Hi Jim,

I'm a radio amateur  (W9SZ) but don't have any HF antennas up. What would
be the topic(s) of discussion? Spy numbers?
