Title: UNID 6970 USB 29OCT2013 0340UTC
Post by: The Late Movie on October 29, 2013, 0347 UTC
Dunno if this qualifies as a pirate, but for the last 10 minutes I have been listening to someone beating out a repeating rhythm on what sounds like a cow bell on 6970 USB.  Level varying from S4-8 with S3 noise floor on preamp #1.

Changed channels and came back...still going 0500 UTC.  Not sure if morse code, probably not..

This is Link-11, presumably US .mil

It took up residence on 6970 a few days ago (it has been around 6940 in the past)

Now how will we hear the WWCR mixing product ??? :-)

Compare to the sound in this video:

Assuming they are similar (and I would bet they are) then Chris is correct, Link 11 it is.  If that ain't it then it msut be ssomething else ;)

Other commonly heard sounds on HF can be found there on my Youtube channel.

T!

Last night was not quite like the video.  It was a less regular rhythm, almost musical, and I swear I could hear the rattle of a cow bell in there, a very acoustic non-electronic-like sound. 

Tonight I tuned in 6970 again and hear something much closer to the example in the video.

Link-11 needs more cowbell.
