As other have said STANAG is very common on HF. I have used SIGMIRA
software in the past to decode it.
I hear the signal on 4286 khz very loud here at almost any time, even now
(almost midday) it is strong so I'd suspect the signal would come from CFS
transmitters near Matsqui, BC. I do not know this for a fact so don't turn
it into one.
I do know that the signal observed here is less than 4 khz wide and if it
was truly as wide as you claim (over 3 mhz), that would be a serious issue
and would be widely reported by the many amateurs in the PNW.
