Is there a resource on the internet where you can look at different
screenshots and see what the source is for some of the signals that
are translated by the waterfall? I see so many different geometric
forms based on the nature of the Rf and they are a mystery to me. CW
is pretty easy to detect, same with RTTY. Some of the other digital
signals have their own appearance you see often. There are some
signals I have heard before but now to see them portrayed on a screen
as in a waterfall, they are surprising to me and I'd like to know
what they are.
For instance; I was on 10.1 MHz and there's that constant commercial
RTTY station around 10.101 but next to it around 10.112 is another
much larger signal and it takes a lot of bandwidth. At first I
thought it was some new digital mode I haven't yet seen but it is
continuous so it must be commercial. It looks to be a series of
curled sections spiralling with each other. I've heard this signal
before but just now with the P3 with its SVGA larger output, am able
to see it.

I'd like to be able to identify what kinds of signals make the QRM
that we hear but can now see with the waterfall display.
