Default Spooks/Spy Station? 3699.5 KHz CW.

It is possible that we have a spy/numbers station in the 75 meter ham
band? At about 0305 there has been a strong signal (S9 at times) on
3699.5 KHz sending the letter “P” over and over. Been listening for
10+ minutes and non-stop “P” (.--.). Another station came on freq and
sounded like he was turning up but the “P” never missed a beat…..

Anyone know of a 75 Meter Beacon operating (but wouldn’t propagation
beacons be required to ID ever 10 minutes?) on 3699.5 KHz? Or is this
a ‘spy numbers’ station?

It's the Russian Navy, Baltic Fleet out of Kaliningrad.

And, actually it is not a 'P' in the usual sense as it is in Russian Morse, but
heck, no sense in really confusing things!

I was also hearing a 'D' (-..) beacon out of Odessa at 1500 today on 16331.7.

The 'S' beacon ceased at 1959 and has not returned as of 2010.

These are Single Letter High Frequency Beacons (SLHFB)
used by the Russian Navy. They are part of a USSR/Russian
naval HF network that dates back to the Cold War and are
still in use today.

Some links on the topic of SLHFB's are below.....
