Checking out the regulars tonight and caught this one on VE7GL:

Format isn't unlike HiFER.

Repeats after the lower frequency dash become a morse "S".

Not the adjacent labled CIS-12, as that's 12-channel digital.

Just FYI, an audio recording would go a long way to potentially narrowing this down a bit.  The pulse and its modulation (note the lines on each side of each pulse) look familiar, but I don't know what it is.
