8992 USB December 26 2022 16:45 Anomaly
« on: December 26, 2022, 1717 UTC »
Sitting on 8992 over coffee and Twitter when all of a sudden it sounded like someone tuning up their OTHR.

Has happened three times since(always while I was away from the SDR of course)

AnyWUN heard this before? I'll try and get a recording.

Various OTHRs and sounders hit 8992 kHz, and frequencies around it, with great regularity.  I hear the 16x64 sounder and other related JORN sounders hitting this frequency pretty much every morning.
