Recipracating whooshing space sounds- to weird to describe. What the
heck is this one?
Southwest Missouri, R-75 with 80ft random wire and balun.



Is it accompanied by a "beep beep beep" sound about 6 khz away, then sounds
vaguely like a time signal but is too fast? And, the whooshing sound goes
"whoosh whoosh" (in quick succession) for every beep. I've encountered
this before around 4850 khz, didn't know what it was. If it was DRM, well,
good to know.

Unfortunately that's a CODAR signal which is used to measure the height
of waves at sea. The transmitters are located on the coasts. The
government apparently doesn't care if the CODAR stations in the US
interfere with the 60-m shortwave broadcast band, since they assigned
those frequencies to the CODAR institutions. It's an example of how a
group of people like shortwave listeners with essentially no voice in
government are taken advantage of by those in power.
