HF Beacons / "N" Beacon 10126?

« on: January 15, 2011, 1732 UTC »

Sorry, I'm new to beacons. Considering this is in the ham band, I'm guessing that this is amateur, but I can never make out exactly what the ID is. It seems to have an odd echo/multipath effect. Any ideas?

This recording is filtered, so all you can hear is the actual CW, but you can clearly hear the echoey effect.

Other / Strange Data Packets

« on: November 03, 2010, 2200 UTC »

A few guys and I on an IRC were wondering around the SW, when someone came across a sound. 24535 khz. It was 3 tones.
I'm GUESSING it's XSL (Enigma2ks "Slot Machine" from Japan's Navy) but he's not so sure.
I'm providing a zip file of an original recording, an edited recording (to remove some noise), and a spectrograph of the edited (also below). Any other thoughts?

What could this possibly be? I'm currently in Jacksonville, FL, and this is the first time I have ever heard this. Is this just some sort of beacon, or something different? Thanks.
