01:00 UTC - UNID with digital data transmission (unknown format);

04:00 UTC - UNID with digital data transmission (unknown format);
04:08 UTC - Number of messages being transmitted have decreased.

Notes:
a.     The message is composed of a 2 second long, 4 tone preamble followed by the stream of data;
b.     The data segment following the preamble is +/- 15 seconds in duration;
c.     Transmissions appear to follow a consistent start at the top of the hour (00) and bottom of the hour (30) with additional messages interspersed throughout; and
d.     The signal is potentially European in origin. Signal strength was observed to be very high and loud and clear from the University of Twente Wide-band WebSDR. Also heard on UK and Barcelona Spain KiwiSDRs.

Hi.

I have Israeli Navy listed on the frequency with a modifies MIL-STD 188-110 modem.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Thomas, that certainly fits the profile and was confirmed by a user on the UDXF group as:

Israeli Navy Hybrid Modem 188-110 MOD

It will definitely be worth some additional monitoring and further research on the modem. I have kept an mp3 and I/Q recording for further analysis.
