Well, that's interesting and thanks for your comments and observations on remote rcvrs. As you can see, I do have way too much local RFI but that's a new one for me. I usually have the rcvr parked on 6925 USB, like in the screenshot I posted, if I'm not doing anything else. I am going to watch more and if it becomes frequent, I'll start making recordings in order to try and get more info - like better start and stop times and build a folder of screenshots. As of now, I haven't seen it again...

radiogaga,
Thanks. Let me see if I can do that right. I wondered if attachments had been turned off; I seem to recall a post from Chris, sometime ago, asking users to limit posting of images in order to conserve storage space.

That appears to work.

Token,
Thanks for the reply. I have several screen shots of the waterfall, but when I tried to attach them, there was no option to do so. I don't understand, as I've posted screenshots in the past.
When I click on "Attachments and other options" all I see is 4 check boxes: "Notify me of replies", "Return to this topic", "Lock this topic", and "Dom't use smileys". I know I'm old(er) but am I missing something???
Thanks, Paul

I noticed this sig while having coffee this morning. I don't recall seeing anything similar before. I don't know how long it had been on before I saw it and it wandered around a bit - seemed random to me. Anyone have any ideas as to what it was?
On a totally different note and very short notice --- Is anyone else from the middle TN / central KY area planning to go to the Vettte City (Bowling Green) hamfest tomorrow morning? It's at a new venue this year - on the campus of WKY University. It's just a quick run up I-65 for me. I'll probably be wearing my "Official RF Whatever Bunker" t-shirt
Drat!!! I don't see a place to include attachments anymore??? Sorry, no image...

OK, thanks to radiogaga, try clicking, or copy and paste into a new browser tab, this url and you should see 2 screen prints of the waterfall:

AMAZING!!!! Thanks to MDK2 for pointing me in the right direction but I still had to do some digging. I thought that after way too many years in computer systems and networks I could do anything - very humbling.

Yes, I also heard that station, but it was too weak and fading
to be able to make out anything. Sometimes I could hear
unknown mx and at other times I could hear an OM voice - maybe a peskie?
I was listening on the SDR-IQ but also verified the sig on the trusty ol' R-70.
I hope Chris S. maybe has it recorded and might shed some light on who it was.

I also heard the 1045 xmission - but I had to
"cheat" by using the websdr at University Twente.
However, I am happy to have heard it. Now, if I
could only receive it at my home QTH...
