A Strange Signal

Early in the morning (1:00am) on August 11th, 2008 as my friends and I were attempting to leave Las Vegas after attending BlackHat and Defcon, I picked a strange signal on 5.900MHz. It was a very weak AM transmission of a women's voice repeating the names of colors, "Purple, Purple, Black, Red, Green, Black, Blue..." This was recived near Boulder City, NV around 1:00am. I havn't been able to find any infromation relateing to this station's purpose or identification on the internet. The repeating color names seems similar to the triditional "numbers station" type transmission. If anyone has infromation reguarding this signal please leave a comment, I would love to know more about the nature of this singal.

Update: It seems that Numbers Station V02 is located at 5.898MHz. It transmits numbers in Spanish from Cuba, which ends up sounding a lot like color names at a very low signal quality. V02 is most likely my mystery signal.
