S4 noise level with two-second S8 transmissions, followed by one
second of no carrier. Modulation method unknown, but there seems
to be a marginally audible low frequency beat in the carrier.
Occasionally the pattern is punctuated with very short pulses of
other pulse-type modulation. Probably some sort of telemetry?

Received here. Signal changed to a regular, shorter signal for about
fifty or sixty repetitions then a change in pitch and rhythm for a few
seconds.

That's a useful data point. Thank you.

The fact that you received the station from a point over a thousand
miles distant would seem to prove that the station is not necessarily
located locally. I had considered it to possibly be a local telemetry
broadcast.
