I'm hearing 4096.24 kilohertz on CW at 0325 UTC on 5/3/26. every 30 seconds it taps out D W. Every few minutes it taps out a long list of letters and numbers that don't seem to coincide to anything. I'm slow to copy CW, but I think I got it all correct. It means nothing to me. Must mean something to somebody though.

That's real close to what I copied as well. So I guess I see now what it is their transmitting. Makes more sense this way. Duh.

Try reading this, put your radio in CW mode and tune on frequency

Got it now!

Heard of it before. Never tried to tune it in. I don't think I ever knew the frequency. Cool. Thanks for clearing things up.
