[Elecraft] Babies at play as seen on the P3

[lmarion]

Interesting.  These are RF peaks, that move across the 1.8 to 2 MHz band, 
for instance.  They often stop on QSOs in progress, or flow thru them, 
sometimes reverse, may disappear, may take off in either direction. I 
assumed they are human caused.  ???

There are ionospheric chirp sweepers that go through the hf spectrum
every couple of minutes. They sound like someone lightly clearing his
throat. Have no idea what it looks like on the pan display. On a given
frequency you'll hear the chirp at the exact same time every couple of
minutes
