43m band noise
« on: December 27, 2013, 1507 UTC »
Token I recorded this off your Perseus server and the one in AZ. Both have the same noise. Just curious, what is it?

Those are our dear socialist friends, Chinese Over The Horizon Radars (OTHRs).  I have seen up to 16 Chinese systems active at one time, of about three types, from below 4 MHz to above 12 MHz.

Ahh, I see. That's annoying. I haven't heard anything back this way like that I'm aware of.
