PSK? narrowband signal at 5358.62 kHz
« on: December 26, 2022, 0323 UTC »
Unidentified approximately 30 Hz bandwidth signal (markers are 50 Hz apart); unchanging nature suggests idle marker. Falls in 60 meter amateur band, but doubt it's amateur-related. Can't find a close match at sigidwiki. Any ideas? Thanks!

Batputer says it's 2-ary psk, 33.33Hz bit rate.

Wish I had a batputer - would probably need a batcave to put it in, though. Still, I have to question the result - my preliminary research (i.e., googling) suggests this is a mode used for satellite communications - wouldn't expect to see it in the amateur 60 meter band!

Perhaps this was HAARP related. Have a look at the waterfall display in the following post:
9600 USB HAARP December 27 20:45

The lissajous figure looks very similar. Perhaps similar type of modulation.
