Not the ham radio dudes on LSB obviously.  This is cropping up periodically but widely across the 80 meter band and beyond on the Newton, NH KiwiSDR.

What does it sound like?
An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).

I would say it sounded like a zipper, or a fart going from low to high.
