High Speed Code (CW) on HF For Us "Brasspounders."

[spongella]

For fellow brass pounders, FAV22 on 6.825 megs sends high speed CW, random letters and numbers. It'll give you a run for your money hihi. It's a French military xmitter. I also listen to 4XZ occasionally, Israeli Navy, a good one too.

Does anyone know of other CW HF stations? Granted, W1AW is tops and of course the Amateur bands are too.

There are CW "marker stations" that send their ID in CW, such as SVO, XSG. Any others you know of? Tnx es 73's.

I don't know if they still do it but at some point recently KPH would have Saturday skeds with some regulars, such as a the liberty ship museum ship (forgot which one) where they would pass traffic. But I haven't caught it recently. KPH's sked is found here: MRHS Operations — Maritime Radio Historical Society and their online SDR is here: KPH SDRs — Maritime Radio Historical Society which includes both their MF/LF and HF SDRs. It's been a while since I've listened but I'm sure there's still some CW NTS at the regional level doing their thing at night and those folks were pretty fast, best place to look is the ARRL Net Directory. Also, Europe has some groups that promote fast CW, such as the HSC and I would listen on a European Kiwi SDR when they would have an event.

As for UTEs I haven't heard any in some time. You named the few active ones I hear on the East Coast otherwise I would look in HF Underground's discord channel or website: HFU HF Underground - Index or the Enigma 2000 page.

With so much loss of CW the last decade, I about have to use a code generator to keep my skill at all.
Since moving, I no longer get W1AW of anything usable.
KPH I think has gon dark except their anual historical broadcasts.
HF here is plagued with high noise levels so it would take a strong station and good propagation to get anything usable.

There are usually numerous CW logs every month found on the Utility DXers Forum (UDXF) on the groups.io server. Some of them are Russian in nature making for a good challenge to copy them
