The sweep I was referring to I've been hearing for years, anywhere 
between 2 thru 9 MHz. Never heard it higher than that, I think.

According to my notes last summer you could often hear the short chirp 
on 40m close to the ODD minute. It sounded like a raspy Morse "H". The 
sweep rate would accelerate from approx 50 kHz/s at the low end to 200 
kHz/s up near 8 MHz.

(I used to log all that kind of stuff as an SWL: "Giant Step, Giant 
Step, this is Retail. Do not Answer...")

73,
