8.000MHz CW "C"
« on: December 14, 2016, 2220 UTC »
The weird and whacky just continue...

1314z 8.000MHz  CW  "C" in CW until 1317z then carrier, 1319z back to "C", at 1321z "NT" then carrier, then 1322z "NT" then "C". At 1322z gone, no carrier, no "C".

Not a Russian beacon as this signal is 599 plus 10dB report, probably in China or neighbouring Asian country, very little fade on signal.  First time heard, maybe a transmitter warm up or marker, however, no traffic sent after key off at 1322z.
