    The multiplex signals sounded to me like machinery running. 
Not to be confused with the Russian jamming stations that sounded 
to buzzsaws. They were also very strong. There were many 
multiplex signals on the West coast. I thought at the time they 
might have been coming from one of the commercial communications 
services like RCA in San Francisco but they were probably the 
Navy. It seems to me that there was a very large shared site near 
Dixon Ca, with Navy, commercial, VOA, Telco and probably other 
stuff. These days I hear mostly power line noise.
