Howdy All,? This all brings back some memories,? I was stationed at the
Naval Radio Station on Oahu in 1955 and I was hitching a ride to the
beach
when a fellow sailor picked me up in about a 53, or 54 Pontiac, He had
radios from the steering wheel to the passenger door, It was all chrome,
I
suspect maybe Gonset Gear.? He was a CT stationed on the same base, they
had their own bldg.? I got my ticket about 5 years later. been doing
mobile every since.
since this is a Ten Tec group,? I do have a 509/405 station

Hi Ron, Sounds like you were a Spook aka CT in the Navy.
I was just a Tin Can sailor but had a friend that was a CT. He was my
RCPO
in boot camp but kept up with him for awhile. Eventually lost track of
him.
Time window was early 62 to about 68. The last thing I heard about him
was
the ship he served in had something close to a mutiny somewhere in the
Pacific. I happened to read about it in some news magazine and his name
was
mentioned as one of the guys who helped stop it. I only heard about it
one
time and then I think there was a lid put on it. His name was Frank T
Feeney. One other guy I knew was a CT named Wally Flanagan, I went to
high
school with him.
I am curious if you ever heard about the incident I mentioned?

Interesting stuff. "Dah-dah-dah-dah" is the Cyrillic 'square O', one of
four extra characters the Ruskies use. Generally, they send in either
5-letter groups, 5-number groups, or 5-'cut number' (like n for 9, a for
1,
etc.) groups. Mixing letters and numbers is unusual. They also usually
operate 'split', as we would call it, but the transmit and receive
frequencies are often very far apart.

Shortly after 0000Z, for the last two nights, I have heard a station on
3.561 (Thursday evening) and 3.557 (Friday) MHz that may be commercial
or
military. Using CW at about 20-25 wpm with a good signal (569 in New
England), Thursday I heard "KMBL de 5HMX QTC K" and a few minutes later
five-symbol groups like "HNYRW FBFSH" etc., including some characters
like
dah-dah-dah-dah (and others with four dit/dahs) I'm not familiar with.
A
few minutes later, what seemed like the same station began sending
"YUAH
de 5O7Y K", and 5O7Y then called GSO7, YTCB, 3OXV, and J6MN.
On Friday (3557 KHz), the operator seemed a little less smooth, making
a
few mistakes. He send "HYDS QTC ZOLAR" and then "5O7Y 449 2T 17 T248
...
"
with more five-letter groups and some of the four-symbol characters I
don't know. 5O7Y then called "YUAH de 5O7Y R 449? K" and other stations
VGS8, YTCB, 3OXV, KMBL, J6MN, and NM8I.
Does anyone in the group know what these stations are, and what this
traffic is? (I think the four-character groups I'm unfamiliar with may
be
punctuation marks like semicolons, etc., but I'm not sure about that.)
