North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID CW 6925khz AM 01:20-01:28 utc & ~ 2:10-2:18 utc 12-20-14

« on: December 20, 2014, 0229 UTC »

6925 khz AM mode CW fading in and out -- mostly out
01:20 - 01:28 utc very weak - but very slow CW send speed and repeating message?
only caught  the number "5" several  times and the word "WEST"

approx 2:10 - 2:18 utc over LR's Weak signal  - a bit stronger signal this time but still partial copy here:
KION  WEST COAST 5" ?? "ETA" ? "PIRATE RADIO SU" "DT 0200  SSTV MN" "PSY" ??

That is all I got this time.....  X class solar flare at about 12:15 utc is not helping with propagation tonight! http://www.solarham.net/globald.htm

Spy Numbers / Re: UNID CW station 8009 khz 23:23 - 23:31 utc 12-6-14

Interesting link BoomBox

He also mentions 8009 khz CW in issue #105  11/01/14

http://www.dxing.com/intrigue/intrg105.htm

Under the heading "Cuban Communications" he writes:
"Regarding the CW transmissions, they often interchange the 8009 and 8135 kHz frequencies and HM01 often appears on skeds that should be for CW"

This might help explain the ridiculous wide bandwidth for a CW transmission as seen in the SDR screen capture with my original post?

Anyway this suggest the posted CW transmission was / is  a "Numbers Station" not an "Other"
