Thanks for the heads up on this signal. I tuned it in and made a recording. From what I understand, what I captured is the signal in "idling mode" and that it occasionally sends classic number station-style five number groups.

Correct. I have heard both but most of the time it is "idling".

Tuned into 4XZ at 0450 UTC 18 Jan. 2018. The station was idling the standard VVV DE 4XZ but started sending CW coded messages at 0500 UTC. Using fldigi to view the coded message.
0515 UTC - 4XZ still sending coded messages.
0524 UTC - 4XZ ended coded messages went back to idling mode.
