0010 UTC OM with ID, repeated at 0011 UTC, etc every minute
I can find nothing on this online to confirm this as a legitimate utility station...signal is solid above the noise.

 Per Wikipedia, Bluefields "was named after Abraham Blauvelt, a Dutch-Jewish pirate, privateer, and explorer of Central America and the western Caribbean" and "was a rendezvous for European buccaneers in the 16th and 17th century"  8)

Quote from source below:
"Notes: With roots over 100 years old, the Tropical Radio Telegraph Company (a subsidiary of the United Fruit Company) used to operate a few radiotelephone stations in Central America during the years prior to the Internet. They often could be heard on various shortwave frequencies transmitting a repeating test message so the receiving station could tune them in. I managed to pick up 4 of their stations in the early 1970's. These recordings are from La Lima, Honduras; Managua Nicaragua; and Panama City, Panama. I have not been able to find the one from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, but maybe it will surface later."
