[Scan-DC] 14.924.10 MHz

[William D. Rossiter III]

The signal is still there!  It has become very, very weak, but it is still
there.  Turn your squelch down all the way.  You will barely hear it, but a
strange wave-like noise is in the background.  I have no idea what it is or
why it has become so dull.  Maybe because the ionispere is closing up, or
maybe because we are currently under a small pocket of solar weather that is
causing the propagation to weaken.  It has the strangest sound.  It isn't
ordinary data or computerized morse code.  This is something strange.  That
i've never heard before.  I believe this signal is really two or more
individual signals mushed together.  Not only that, but the pitch of the
signal is constantly going up and down.  Sort of like "Do Re Me Fa Me Re
Do".  And every time the pitch goes up, a smaller, more suttle, pitch goes
down.  I wander what this thing is?  Does anyone know about the dynamics of
20 meter radio?  Has the US government ever used this band for international
unidentified transmissions (like the ones that anybody can always hear
between 4 and 10 MHz, and of course the federal government and the FCC both
deny the existence of)?  I dont have any of those machines (I think they are
called spectrum analyzers) that map out a radio transmission.  But I made
the folowing model of what I believe the signal might look like.  Keep in
mind that each wave is one of the individual signals that are mushed in with
the others.
