I'm picking up a cw station, call sign SVO, transmitting a long tone then de
SVO. 8424kHz at 407 GMT here in Texas. Anyone familiar what this station
is, where they are and what they do?

Brian, that's maritime coastal station Olympia Radio SVO, in Greece.
They provide VHF and HF radio telephone and HF SITOR services to
vessels at sea. As it happens, I logged this station myself a few
nights ago (28 May) on the same frequency at 0318Z.

The transmitter is located at 37-36-11.7N/21-29-11E, which is at
Pirgos, but is remotely controlled from Athens.

You can find QSL address information here:
