A religious broadcaster nearly makes it somewhat
difficult to copy.
CW sending five letter groups like:
AIWNM RDART NDAMM ITIAW WURGR AIURN
WMRDU IGNNI GNIDT RIIRR IUTRR AWWTA TGWUI
DTGUD MNIDA

Letters correspond with numbers? Because there
are only 10 different letters. ADGIMNRTUW.

'Cut' numbers, used to save time:

0 T
1 A
2 N
3 D
4 U
5 W
6 R
7 I
8 G
9 M

The station is known as M8a and is from Cuba.

The same station is operating on or about 5800 at 1007.

It's interesting. CW numbers would seem contrary to
the supposed low-tech advantage of number stations.
To copy CW numbers the person receiving either has
to have the skill to copy CW (cut numbers at least) or
has to have somewhat special equipment (computer
and appropriate software).
