Couldn't find "CV5B" listed. There's CS3B . But not CV5B. Am I hearing it wrong? I even slowed it down.

Correctly IDed by l0ngwire

The second "DAH" in Y is right there on the wave form.  ;)

Thanks, Leigh.

You are copying it wrong.  The callsign is YV5B and it is in Caracas, Venezuela.  Google International Beacon Project for more info.
