Horribly distorted audio with hum and noise.

Female spanish - speaking numbers station LSB 3.24510MHZ at 1110Z

Guess they're still alive and well.

I never heard it on that frequency before, I'll have to add it to my
schedule of that particular station. It is a Cuban numbers station
possibly beaming the "material" into the US for Cuban operatives
active in the US.

Heard the same the other night, after perhaps 01:00 UTC. Frequency 12.160,
in the radio memory, and came across it while going through various memory
locations. There is not usually any broadcasts on 12.160 at that time, or
at least that I hear, and when I came across it I paused to listen. Exactly
the same as you described. Sounded over-modulated. I was unable to resolve
the signal any better with filters on/off, NR on/off, or SSB on USB/LSB.
Interesting.

This partitcular sttion is known for it's bad transmitting quality.
Frequently there are problems.. sometimes they stop the numbers and
the "tape" rewinds and plays again. Or on one rare occasion, the ops
must of accidently let the mic open because I heard two Spanish guys
in the background talking and a noticable "echo" was apparrent like it
was indoors in the transmission studio. This was before the actual
numbers begun, the station usually turns on as a blank carrier for
like 5 minutes before it begins.

The Cuban stations are frequently like that. It's really interesting when
they mix Radio Habana Cuba programming in with the numbers msgs.

I've got a couple recordings from a few years back when they were having a
spell of bad problems mixing the two.
