Dear LF Group,

The 73.25kHz Rugby signal has been on intermittently lately, and sometimes when it is off I have been hearing a strange bleeping and warbling signal, centered on about 73.315kHz. The attachment shows a couple of minutes worth of spectrogram - the frequency span is about 1kHz, and the signal occupies about 600Hz. The blips on the "carrier" frequency are actually shifting up and down in frequency by a few Hz, and seem to have some sort of modulation applied, although this is hard to see in this screen shot.

The signal is about 20 - 30dB over the noise here - Can anyone else hear it, or is it some strange form of local QRM? Could it be a communications mode, or some sort of beacon? Would be interested if anyone has any ideas.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
