Utility / Re: 500ms tick on 23856u
« on: October 29, 2011, 0622 UTC »
I don't believe that it is local noise. It doesn't fade. I'm able to receive it well day and night. It doesn't seem to be an image or birdie or something like that.
I powered just about everything in the house down and still get it. I also can receive it on my Kaito 1103 as well as the Icom 718. I can also receive it on the 1103 about a mile from my house so its not too local.
I also made a recording of it over that last 18 hours and I found that it does deviate from the fast half-second tick/dit that I had heard on shorter observations. It seems to be an impercise though not necessarily random either. At semi-regular intervals a contious tone will occur for x number of seconds. It will then return for a semi-regular dit interval. Though some times are close, other times seem to repeat. Its wierd its not regular but its not random sounding either. Particularly the 30s / 3m 29s / 7s combo that repeats. Any ideas?
Here is what I analyzed from my recording of about 18 hours (first continuous tone captured ~0858z Oct 28th UTC).
