[Milsurplus] "The Bagpipes"

[Ron Lawrence W4RON]

What you're talking about is called an "Interval Signal".
Here's a link to a web page that tells all about them;

Here's a youtube vid with recordings of lots of interval sigs
from the 60's and 70s;

Boy I sure wish we could go back to the wat SWLing was
in the 60s & early 70s.

Knee-deep in the cosmic overwhelm, I’m stricken
by the ricochet wonder of it all: the plain

everythingness of everything, in cahoots
with the everythingness of everything else.
