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.

That's Clear Talk Radio again.  They just tuned back down to 6895, then up to 6899, now back up to 6900.

Just sent out something that sounded like fax, but I couldn't figure out the speed and center frequency in time to make any sense of it.

The spoken-word version of Rocketman was William Shatner.  A potato-quality video still exists.  It's as bad as it sounds.

I'm getting it closer to 3873, a longstanding ham AM frequency.  Bozo playing music and yelling at his audience like a CBer.
