number station logs, aug-sep 2012

Here are my logs for the V02 (Spanish numbers) and M08 (morse code) number station broadcasts, believed to originate in Cuba. My usual rig for these logs was the Eton E5 with my indoor random wire antennas.

2012-08-02, 0804 UTC, 5898 kHz: V02 using the usual groups of five digits.
2012-08-03, 0600 UTC, 6800 kHz: M08. Went silent at 0635 UTC.
2012-08-05, 0711 UTC, 5883 kHz: V02. Ended with "Final, final, final" at 0742 UTC.
2012-08-05, 0808 UTC, 5898 kHz: V02.
2012-08-06, 0732 UTC, 5883 kHz: V02.
2012-08-10, 0700 UTC, 5883 kHz: V02. Heard "Atención!" intro.
2012-08-10, 0724 UTC, 9153 kHz: M08.
