And now it's gone... it was there for quite a while before I posted. (The beeps on 7200L are still there.)

HF Mystery Signals / 7182-7196 kHz -- digital or radar?
« on: February 25, 2024, 0017 UTC »
Not sure what this is -- it sounds different, and looks more fine-grained, than radars I've heard before, but I'm no expert.
Also, on 7200 LSB, there's a continuous beep-beep in the background. I know this frequency is heavily QRMed, but this sounds very similar to ALE to me.

Tonight the frequency is presenting a perfectly normal, albeit apparently encrypted, RTTY signal.

In parallel, but much weaker, on 6880 AM.

Huge signal, S9+, started at 8kHz wide now jumped to 10kHz.

This is back right now on 6831, it sounds like bad SSTV or WEFAX. It's S9 in central Pennsylvania, so I'm doubting it's from Russia.

This shares a frequency (nominally) with New Orleans, but the fact they're a bit off, and the charts bear no resemblance to each other, gives it away instantly. Usually when it's propagating up here to Pennsylvania, New Orleans isn't.

Huge signal but you're drifting all over the place.

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. If I knew how to upload a picture, I would've.
I've seen the big hump many times and read somewhere that that's what it was. But I've never seen the narrow signals.
Are there any theories about why they're using such an odd, multi-part signal?

This is S9+ at my location, and I've never seen it before. The closest thing to it on the sigidwiki visually is CLOVER2000, but it's listed as being 2kHz wide and these signals are both 4kHz wide (unless of course they're each two transmissions immediately adjacent, but it doesn't sound like the samples on the wiki.)

It's making a barber-pole pattern on the waterfall. Is there something wrong with the modulation, or is it on top of some digital ute? I've seen a pattern like that before.
