AWE 6947 USB 2251 17 Feb 2018
« on: February 17, 2018, 2252 UTC »
 Repeated in Morse AWE, seems to be simultaneously packet. Same message, apparently SHOCK and AWE ? :-X
 Another US Military station seems to be active on 6940 packets and repeated spacer DITs
I can't decode packet, probably encrypted ? Sounds like a beacon test. Military always squats where ever. Its not under FCC , but this could also be CIA out of Virginia? Mystery streams. It wasn't there before today.
Can't ID it as military so its quite possibly spy CIA or some other clandestine

The digital sounds you are hearing, the "packets and repeated spacer dits", are probably Link-11.  Link-11 is a tactical data link that is used by USN, USCG, USAF, and NATO forces.  Link-11 can be sent unencrypted, but almost never is.

Link-11 occupies the 6940 - 6950 kHz range periodically, and has been hitting it a lot lately.

An audio recording would confirm what it is.
