The squigglers were audible in EU too, Bob...early as well as later, so coming
out of the East I guess. Not as loud as the usual Russian OTHR but something
different. Mobile drone missile radar in Eastern Europe maybe, or do I have a
powerful imagination :>)?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWWSSB weird noises on 10 M and other bands
On Saturday in CQWWSSB I heard some very strange noises on 10.
One was a constant multi-toned carrier that was simultaneously
transmitting between about 28.815 mhz and 29.125 mhz. I
The other type of noise was what I'll call a "Squiggler" which was loud
and about 3 - 5 khz wide. It sounds "squiggly" - with audio like
someone was very rapidly shifting their tuning dial back and forth while
transmitting, but doing it within an extremely narrow range of
frequencies - maybe 500 - 1000 hz wide. If you took a pencil and
rapidly moved it back and forth repeatedly in a narrow space on a piece
of paper, you would see "squiggles" - a physical representation of the
audio that I was hearing.
The squigglers were loud and annoying and then would drift in and out of
the frequency very, very slowly and obliterate any callers for several
minutes at a time. This happened all over 10 M but also made brief
appearances on 15 and 20. I have never heard this before. It was NOT
at all the spurs and carrier type signals to which I am accustomed.
Any idea what these are and where they are coming from?
Tnx & 73
Bob, KQ2M
