10600 KHz USB OTHR? 1748 UTC DEC 02 2022
« on: December 02, 2022, 1753 UTC »
Some kind of really wide signal sounds like SuperDARN (Super Dual Auroral Radar Network) Seems like two or more stations as one overtakes the other at times.
Closest I can find on the SIGIDENTWIKI is SuperDARN
Have a listen and a look if you would and confirm.

Yes, that is SuperDARN.  SuperDARN often hits / nags out on 10600 and that area.

I typically do not classify SuperDARN as an OTHR.  For sure it is a radar, and for sure it operates over the horizon, however when many people talk about "OTHR" they envision a radar that is looking for man made stuff, aircraft, missiles, ships, things like that.  SuperDARN is not tracking those kinds of things, but is rather looking at the natural environment.

Yes, plasma tracking in the upper atmosphere. Interesting stuff. Thanks for the confirm.
