\"WFL_015\"<\/a>On occasion, I hear the Cuban numbers station HM01<\/a> on 5,855 kHz on weekday mornings.<\/p>\n

It seems that many of the mornings as I listen, I hear HM01 making mistakes or at least experiencing “technical difficulties” (click here for a recent case in point<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Though I don’t often record HM01, I did record it on the morning of September 20, 2013\u2013\u2013and, yet again, I heard what seemed to be HM01 tripping over its own tongue.<\/p>\n

Instead of the broadcast starting with numbers to identify the transmission, then implementing intermittent RDFT data bursts as per usual, this broadcast begins in the middle of a data burst, then shuffles awkwardly into a “normal” broadcast. \u00a0I imagine an operative in the field scratching his<\/a> or her<\/a> head…<\/p>\n

But hear this for yourself. \u00a0Either click here to download an MP3 of the recording<\/a>, or simply listen via the embedded player below:
