KPZL, 6933 kHz CW, Dec 31 2012 to Jan 01, 2013

KPZL is up again on 6933 kHz CW, like it has been for the last week or so.  Same message is bieng sent.  It was up when I turned the radio on at 2350 UTC, Dec 31, 2012.


I don't see where anyone has posted a transcription of the CW, so will throw one out here:

KPZL KPZL PUZZLE RADIO PUZZLE THIS STEGANOGRAPHIA
SGDWT THVMP CQRWC GLAKS VNBRG
EPPOC JLMML DFMYO VUELL UBWFL
RTFTU SWZOW VKDVR TUUIK HHSTU
HAPPY NEW YEAR KPZL PUZZLE RADIO

And repeat.

T!

(edit)  At 0031 the CW went unstable, drifting in freq.  Not sure but this looks intentional to me, too cyclic to be a broken transmitter...I think ;)

And station went off at 0052.  It had stabilized its CW before it went off.

Copied KPZL on 6933 CW at 0010, 1 Jan 2013. Signal report about S5 (559 RST) and also did notice the frequency instability. Here's a recording:
