QRSS-45 speed, but is actually FSK with an 850 Hz shift - upper frequency carries the information ..
When I turned the rig on this evening and was busted with a S9 +15 carrier it took seconds for me to figure out
what and where the Interference is coming from..

the other day that he would be on 475 kHz in beacon mode TFN

I
have heard a carrier on 475 with an occasional CW ID that is
strongest here to SW after dusk...although I do not
generally hang around long enough to figure out
what he is doing. Likely
best to ignore it....

Last night, in
addition to 474.2 kHz wspr2 and K9KFR JT9 signals and
KU4XR on 477 kHz Op8, two strong signals were
seen here seemingly
sending QRSS. But I
tuned the one on 475 kHz and found it was not QRSS,
nor was it Opera (see attachment). The dot
transmissions lasted a bit
over 10 seconds
long. The other signal was on about 475850 Hz and
appeared to be sending a similar short/long
keying sequence with dead
times between the
keyups. Does anyone know what this modulation scheme is?
