Strange, unusual sound
 

This evening (Wed. Jan 07) at about 7:15 PM I was tuning my SW between
8.000 and 9.000 USB, and when I got to 8.425, I heard a signal that I
have never heard before in all my years of SWL. Of course it is nearly
impossible to accurately describe a 'sound', but the best I can do is
say that it sounded like a UK ambulance:
DAHduhDAHduhDAHduhDAHduhDAHduh......
Anyone know what I was hearing?

Still there at 0358. Only hearable here in USB, too.
I don't know what it is, but I'll verify you were hearing it, FWIW.

Thanks for the verification, fellas.
Reading your responses, it dawned on me that I forgot to include my
location and equipment.
East central Arkansas; Sangean ATS-909, 15 ft. wire attached to the
antenna, indoors.
I heard the signal again this morning at about 8:30 AM cst, same
frequency.

That's NMC. The Naval COMMSTA in San Francisco, CA. I believe the mode is
SITOR (but don't quote me on that), and they ID in CW.
