- Tuning through the novice bands on 80 meters (the only place where
- there seems to be anything useful to do on HF at night if you've not a
- general class ticket or higher), I frequently notice a signal at about
- 3712 Khz which seems to repeat continuously in CW as follows:
-
- VVV VVV VVV DE SXA33 SXA33 SXA33 K
-
- It ends with K but doesn't seem to wait for any response (or at least
- it doesn't seem to notice one). What I hear in the novice band seems
- to be mainly domestic (well, USA and Canada, that is). On the other
- hand the books say SX belongs to Greece. Does anyone know what this
- is? Am I not looking in the right reference book (I mainly have
- things like the (ARRL) Operating Manual and Handbook, the Net
- Directory and a couple other things).

- Thx & 73
