Oops, yes, 9.330 MHz

or 9330 KHz

or .009330 GHz?


Very clear and easily audible from my location in Pittsburgh PA.

I need to learn code, but as I was listening, at some point, it seemed
like the character pattern repeated 3 times, there was a pause, then the
signals continued again.

Could this have been the end of the message, upon which the message was
retransmitted again from the start?

Thanks for the reply.

Merry Christmas

transmission.



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)
