If you're describing what I think you're describing, we hear them frequently in
the evening... they peak up to the west and northwest... I have always thought
they were fishing boats in the Indian ocean... there are frequently voices
heard in the signals, like they are AM or FM. Whatever language they're
speaking isn't one I can identify.
As annoying as they are, I take it as a good sign that 10 is open to SOMEWHERE.

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 :>)?

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
