Unlikely it's a 'pirate'.

It might have been M8 and they use 'cut numbers'.

'Cut numbers' substitute alpha characters for numbers. It's an easier quicker
way to send number traffic.

Here is what M8 uses:

0 T
1 A
2 N
3 D
4 U
5 W
6 R
7 I
8 G
9 M

That is a Cuban cut number station. They use the following format:

A=1
N=2
D=3
U=4
W=5
R=6
G=7
M=8
N=9
T=0
