Very solid S5 to S7 signal via the Cape May County, New Jersey, SDR with little noise ...

2350 UTC: I've been listening to this since at least 2345 UTC. Sounds like a constant duck quack to me when tuned in at 6955 USB.
2355 UTC: Still going uninterrupted.
2356 UTC: The "quacking" just jumped into hyperdrive.
0000 UTC: Back to the prior "quacking" speed.
0003 UTC: A few slower, dying quack sounds, then off. I have no idea what this was!
0004 UTC: Loud ute-type sound, then a phone off the hook sound repeated.
0006 UTC: The "off the hook" phone sound's still going.
0008 UTC: Off.
0010 UTC: Back with a ringing phone sound over and over.
0015 UTC: Phone ringing sound's still going.
0020 UTC: The phone's still ringing.
0021 UTC: Sounds from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album into "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd.
0028 UTC: Off.

Thanks to who ever this was broadcasting (The Bell System, perhaps?).

SDR recording catch. I'm 99% sure this was 6955 vs 6956 USB.

2343 Signed on with looped audio, I agree it sounds a little like a duck quacking. Good signal.
2357 Much faster repetition rate
0001 Back to slower rate
0004 Buzzing.  Then fast phone busy signal
0010 Telephone ringing
0021 Voices
0022 "Comfortably Numb"
0028 Off

Thanks for helping to #keep43mweird !
