Default 5.8 mhz morse code broadcast

I just happened to be up one morning cruising around with the shortwave radio, when I heard a morse code broadcast. This occurred at around 2:30 am July 2. The signal was S9 and I was able to record some of it. Hopefully I will be able to pick up what it says.
Anybody else get this kind of message and any idea where they are coming from(difficult if not impossible to know).
5.8 Mhz Am broadcast in morse code.

Just curious

This was probably a Cuban Morse numbers station (M08) - they've used 5.8 MHz for years. There was a thread about this in "HF/MW/LW General Discussion" not too long ago.

That was the last line and the only thing I was able to record. Make of it what you will. There are too many
r's to be cut numbers, I would assume.
Oh well . Just castro ordering the latest copy of Iron Man on Blu-ray.

cut numbers
1 ·- A
2 ··- U
3 ·-- W
4 ···- V
5 ··· S
6 -··· B
7 --· G
8 -·· D
9 -· N
0 - T typically a long dash

Of course, there could be any number of cut number formats. For whatever reason, ENIGMA seems to think that M08a uses 1=A, 2=N, 3=D, 4=U, 5=W, 6=R, 7=I, 8=G, 9=M and 0=T as indicated in their control lists. How would any of us really know? And even if we did, we still couldn't decipher the message.

Ok, so its a number station.
Its always fascinating to hear these morse code broadcasts that are not in the Ham bands. Especially,
since I can only recently get close to figuring out what is being sent. Even if only remotely.
Thanks for the info.
