Seeking opinions on an old, commonly heard signal (AM) on HF, of some
considerable power, with a very memorable sound.

The sound on the air was much like hearing several P51 fighters
approaching at high airspeed and props not in phase; the spectral
power is mostly in the range of about 200 Hz to 500 Hz with a
varying heterodyne of several Hz. It had a bandwidth of at least
25 kHz (can't say more precisely due to the cheap receivers I had at
the time).



I know exactly what you are talking about. One of the first things I
remember hearing on shortwave radio was that type of signal -- my first
thought was that I was hearing airplanes.

So far I can't find a reference, but as I recall it was a type of
multiplexed teleprinter transmission (maybe also incorporating voice
circuits) -- "something-plex?."
