UNID 6930 USB 2345 UTC 13 MAR 2023
« on: March 13, 2024, 2346 UTC »
Same station reported earlier today by Ct Yankee:

Quote
1420 YL with a series of numbers in rapid cadence - many 440, 540 (pronounced four-forty, five-forty)

Double and triple digit numbers. Good signal, but buried underneath a UTE? Or is the UTE part of the transmission?

Still going at 0005.

Gone at 0015.

Good S7 signal here. Sounded like there was some RTTY in the background.

S6 2349z with RTTY over the top.  RTTY sounding like someone bumped the vfo??  Constant interval beep too.
The background RTTY seems to be on some type of loop.  When it starts and ends, the sound is unique...
I have heard some weird stuff on HF, but this is near the top of the list.
0010z numbers seem to have stopped.  beeping and rtty continue.
0014z just the beeps, and those just stopped
