Cort,

That signal is MSK144 meteor scatter mode that's part of WSJT-X. I have seen that signal for weeks now whenever the band opens to that part of the country. It decodes as: "VV N4WLO EM50", over and over again.

The grid EM50 would put it in the New Orleans area.

For whatever reason they are running it more as a beacon vs. actually trying to make a QSO.

73,
Duane
