Tune 3000  to 3600 KHz. You might be hearing RAYDIST positioning system. Was 
heard alla time eastern US, used in Chesapeake Bay area, and others. Maybe 
also CUBIC ARGO or another hyperbolic system in the 1600 - 1800 KHz range. Miss 
hearing them, good sound. RAYDIST has two tones which rise and fall in 
amplitude in opposition to one another, if memory serves right. Looked at it on 
spectrum analyzer years ago, worked at NAVCOMMSTA Newport, RI, at the RADSTA (T) 
transmitter site, Beavertail Point. Into the nineties, a pip station operated at 
the old WWII Radar Station, used by Navy Reserves thru the seventies. The Navy 
still ran a, I believe, DECCA  HI-FIX station. Sigs were series of 
close-interval pips, four  in a row, in the 1600 - 1700 range. Powerful.
Hope this helps.
