Last night, being Tuesday Night 23 December, at around 22:30 Eastern
Time in the U.S., or 03:30 UTC Wednesday, I happened across 9330 MHz in
the memory of my Icom and was surprised to hear a very strong CW
transmission.

Looking at several Amateur Radio Band plans, this does not seem to be an
acceptable transmission mode for that Frequency, or for that matter, for
Amateur Radio use at all.

Can someone shed some light on this?


It's definitely not an amateur radio band.

According to several charts linked from
http://www.sss-mag.com/spectrum.html , that frequency (I'm assuming you
mean 9330KHz and not 9330MHz!) is allocated to the Fixed Service. The
charts aren't any more specific.

My guesses:

- Military.
- FEMA.
- Spies. (more likely, transmissions from U.S. (or Cuban) intelligence
agencies *to* spies)
