KSM,12993 khz, 2240 UTC; 6/22/2013 -- CW marker

Tuned into a 'new' CW marker shore station -- at least it's new for me.  KSM.  "V V V CW KSM QSX 2/ ....(faded)  22/ .... 3/ .... 12/..."

I don't hear too many of these anymore, aside from WLO and maybe KLB. I guess KSM is a historical shore station, related to KPH somehow.

Also logged HLW2 from South Korea, laying down its CW marker on 12922 khz., 2128 UTC on 6/18, and a couple times since -- faint but fairly consistent during afternoons.

An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).
