No date, no time, wide frequency range, heard in Sweden or via SDR elsewhere ?
Help us if you want help !
Cobra being a trademark for CB hardware, I guess some network of CBers gone down in frequency to get more reliable propagation.

Waiting till Friday night, but then I will move that to another forum.
