  • I'd say that's OTHR.

  • I heard something like that once, but it keeps moving lower and lower in frequency O_O

    It moved from around 5080 to four thousand something last night, and now I can't even find it >.>

  • Hi All I have tried to reply to this signal on shortwave before but my post wasn't uploaded.

    This signal sounds to me very like the old American AN system, this was an OTHR. I say this because I was on a joint USAF/RAF base in England and worked on the system there. This seems a bit faster PRF than ours. It was very distinctive to hear just like the Russian Wood Pecker almost a voice from the past. One relocatable system was used in the Burmuda area foe drug enforcement.

  • It sounds like military radio encryption from any one of these sources: BID 150, FASCINATOR, KY-3, KY-57, KY-58, KY-68, OMNI, SCIP, Sectéra Secure Module, SIGSALY, STE, STU-II, STU-III, VINSON.

  • Have heard it on CB/11m too.

  • Have a 394 set up with a discone, cant beat it. Excellent radio on all bands.

  • It's probably over are pay grades,some things are better left alone.

  • Its always good to see a 394 working for its living. Nice catch, nice audio. Thumbs up.

  • @Hanglands thanks!

  • I used my RX-SSTV to see what I get and I just get letters. The most clear letters spell Lucy..Odd! Very odd! I need to get one of those things you got and start to decode transmissions with my RX-SSTV and that station which I will soon get..

  • There are some OTHR stations in Virginia, that help some ?

  • Beats me, but I've heard it too over the years. I do know it's not digital communications since there is no data in a regularly spaced two-tone pulse except for 01010101 etc. This is just noise. In my mind that leaves one of two possibilities; a signal from a radar system, or a jamming device. Could be just testing. Similar to the old "Russian Woodpecker" except that it's a much faster tempo. Could be sending on multiple frequencies, or just unfiltered harmonics of one frequency.

  • freaks me out... :/

  • Ah!... the old DX-394 receiver. I still have mine I bought in 1993.  I've performed every improvement modification to mine, which helped, but the DX-394 is still a dog as far as communications receivers go. I have an ancient Sony ICF-5900w battery-operated analog which will stomp the DX-394, and that's with just the rod antenna on the Sony against resonant wire antenna on the DX-394.

  • Hello i am sure it comes state side to EU.

    i copy and see them every day after 9-11 am UTC on my SDR-radio.

    At the same time when the first voice of some US Station can be listen.

    Using a directional Yagi-antenna pointing to north America.

  • Here is a link to the company my relative works for. It is responsible for the signal/sound you hear in the video. This should put an end to all the other comments about their "knowledge" of the subject, because it is the answer, period. Due to forbidding of links here on the tube, replace each described mark in for the address. raytheon(dot)com(slash)capabil­ities(slash)products(slash)rot­hr

  • isn't a mysterius signal it's navtex trasmissions, and others digital mode, usually tx from coast stations with trasponders on hf, or air plains service in digital, the 45 meters it's used for navy, air force, military use, commuications to the airplains in transoceanic comunications, some radars services, very much services work on this band.

  • @MultiSwl As stated before, this signal HAS been identified as an OTHR station. Navtex sounds NOTHING like this. The only reason I approved your comment is because you menchan 'some RADAR services' and you also shed some more light on the usage of this band. However, here in the U.S. and its surrounding waters, this band (and THIS FREQ) is PRIMARILY a Maritime services band, with Aircraft being secondary. Mostly hear ssb maritime phones here.

  • Okay, for all who are saying the source is not traceable, let me enlighten you. I live 20 minutes from an installation that transmits such a signal. I am about two hours North of the Mexico border. A family member of mine works for a company that contracts to the US govt that transmits this. He is a tech there with over 10 years on the job. There are only so many of these stations in the US, not hundreds. These signals are common in my area, frequently.

  • The site is in plain view from a 4lane state highway. This one TX's, while another one South of the 48 RX's the signal. The focus is on drug smugglers, both air and sea, of which I have seen first hand only a few miles from the site. Why else does a twin-engine cessna shave the treetops on purpose. Listen to Stephen Stills “Tree Top Flyer” and you will know what I mean.

  • I remember hearing a similar signal through an old AM/FM stereo. Must have been manufactured in the 80's. Living in Matagorda County, TX from 1990 to 1994, there was a signal somewhere in the lower AM band, but only sounds off at night, but the older stereo was able to pick it up instead of the newer models back then. I was hoping somebody would answer that one for me all these years...

  • Us CB'ers back in the day used to operate AM/sideband tranceivers and this racket was a commonly heard sound - most of the CB fraternity used to believe it was a deliberate attempt at jamming the frequencies we were using by the now (happily) defunct 'buzby' goons.

  • @colliecandle Being a C.B.er myself since I was 12 years old (I'm now 37), I can't remember hearing this on standard C.B. frequencies until recently. I have monitored it on the "freeband" freqs just outside CB for several years. I am now a Ham Radio Operator and wonder who you mean by "buzby goons". I have had AOR and other wide range scanner recievers since I was 15 and I have monitored similar transmissions to this all over SW. When I said I heard it on 11meter CB, was IN BETWEEN channels.

  • Also check out haarp.net for another point of view.

  • This is Easypal in Waterfall Mode. You can send text and pictures through a normal DRM mode, but also in a form where the other station can view it at the waterfall. Very cool. Search for waterfall and easypal on Youtube.

  • Hehe, it's EasyPal DRM in waterfall-writing-mode (not the normal DRM mode). You can write text or pictures through Easypal and it will end up on the other station's waterfall as a letter-by-letter (vertically scrolling) message. Search for easypal and waterfall.

  • Quite frankly I would have thought it would have been obvious......

    This happens to me quite regularly after my visit to the local Boston Baked Bean Festival.........of course there is also the horrific reverberations that result from a combined visit to the Boston Baked Bean Festival and the Broccoli Cheese Taco and Flaming Bean Burrito Festival....those reverberations frighten the children and render small animals senseless...and don't even think about having a bath...

    Just sayin....

  • @Starbuckin You think he's kidding ! I know the guy and the pollution control dudes are called eveytime he flushes or pulls the plug. ;}

  • could be haarp related if ya ask me.

    clear skies and much respect.

  • OTHR

  • I would guess it's coming from the Chesapeake Bay area.

  • Just curious, I have the same Reciver and Im wanting to know your antenna and its setup. Thanks, it seems i cant get anyhting on mine but static, thanks!

  • @bonniedb100 It's hooked to a "longwire" antenna of random length and an old C.B. antenna that I don't use anymore except for SWL (Short wave Listening). The C.B.Antenna, a four element quad, is what it was hooked to when the vid was made.

  • The Russians were notorious for the "Woodpecker" transmission otherwise know as Over the Horizon Radar ... was so damn annoying for me in the 70's blanking out a lot of late night SWL listening hmmm, maybe it wasn't the Russians lol

  • Yes I hear this sound to the past 20 years. My QTH is the Netherlands. I don't know either where specific the sounds comes from. Also in the past people said it was radar.

  • Over the horizon backscatter, typical bistatic doppler structure... very likely to be AN/FPS-118 and the waveform matches the specs of this OTH too.

  • HAARP

  • Set up 3 sites to record the received signal along with the time output from a high accuracy GPS. Then compare the recorded time vs signal time of arrival to triangulate it's origin. Add a 4th location to determine the origins altitude, which may be ground level or if there is any ionospheric reflection it could be higher depending on the origins location relative to the receiver.

  • @josh2utube Yeah, would be wonderful if I had that equipment or could afford to drop a few grand to solve the mystery. I'm not quite THAT interested... Besides I know someone will recognize it that knows where it is, that's why I uploaded the vid. It's funny that this is my top vid (the most viewed) out of all the things I woked hard on creating and this one took almost no work at all -just some lucky timing, LOL!

  • this is the over-the-horizon radar!

  • Sounds like dubstep music.

  • @akcessdenied I thought the same. Actually sounds really familiar. 

  • @akcessdenied Well, after looking up and listening to some Dubstep, thanks to your comment. I've decided to attempt to make an actual classic Dubstep piece featuring this very transmission. I've tried alot of things with my digital audio workstation (F.L.Studio 9) and though my specialty is paranormal 'moody' music, I think I'll try a Dubstep piece now. Thanks for the comment and you have a LOT of thumbs up!

  • @Starbuckin Are you going to put the song on here?

  • It's a digital signal. Amateurs......

  • it sounds like the exhaust from the diesle trucks hauling loads on the road but i know thats not what it is... kinda interesting.

  • yeah yoy can hear shitloads of those in europe. Radars, stanags

  • I was in Cape Girardeau,MO, starbuckin, I caught the same OTHR signal there, which Is along the Mississippi river. It is a frequency switching transmitter, as I have found it on 17494 and 17468 and many other frequencys, I think it is a "frequency jumping OTHR".

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmnnnnn

    try 6318 khz

    

  • I would call it the "Jackhammer Jammer". It's very annoying, like having a government official yelling in your face.

  • The sound you're hearing comes from a ROTHR transmitter. Do some searching to discover what they are and how they're used...mostly by the military and Homeland Security to monitor for illegal traffic attempting to enter US territories.

  • Do you guys thing a $20 digital multi radio could receive as good or is it just Ebay rubbish? They got about 10 bands tho.

  • sounds metalic....is it even wave? can it be measured some how??

    you mentioned hearing it for 15 yrs??

    what could cause this??

    very COOL!!!

  • @00MORDRED1 It's been ID'd as Over The Horizon Radar, I just don't know the transmitter location yet.

  • @Starbuckin ahh....right. probably military then? an evasive transmitting ghost.

    :o)

  • well its not sstv, firstly its not of the right code, and i tested the sound and its not.

    but what is problably is is data ss

  • Nice Catch!

  • It's a "over the horizon radar"

  • Its radar. I live near the Pentagon and near 3 major Airports. Air is riddled with the stuff. 1:35 is data

  • Sounds like E.T. to me. I can perceive patterns in the signal, when I was abducted two years ago the aliens imbued me with certian powers of perception, I understand their language. This particular dialect is from the southern antares tribe, a peace loving sect. In this clip they are saying "This message is intended to show the way to our home world, astro coordinates as follows: 124 by 450, mark 35 by 16-hqy" and then it repeats on an infinite loop. Does anyone know this particular form of nav?

  • is digital signal, you cant decode this with analog rcvr device

  • could it be something called "skip" or could it be frequency bursts from lightning?

  • Often heard this here in the UK. Not to be confused with the propagation scanner somewhere in the nordic countries which goes through the H.F. band in a continuous sweep. Its only an unusual form of data transmission - not as some twats on here are saying its from aliens..... I suppose they cant help having a stunted brain.Hi

  • aliens /O.O\

  • Also known as "Steel Yard"

  • OTH radar! Burst then listen!

  • This signal exist also in Italy. What is this?

  • That's the same sound I keep hearing but with a morse code beep instead of that sound.

  • damm that sounds like the woodpecker signal

  • Sounds like the Russian wood pecker.

  • maybee a jammmer

  • thats not mysterious thats justin beiber singing!

  • ive allways been very intrested in radio signals and things like this ive always wanted to hook one uo and try one out. by the way if theres anyone out there who would like to give me imforation on what i'm talking about please send me a message!

  • Maybe the conspiracy theorists are right about the frequency war and direct energy weapons. Maybe this is eveidence that the governments truly are beaming frequencies toward the masses to effect brain function.

  • @XtremeRealityCheck According to your words, your brain functionality is already significantly degraded. It might surprise you, but there are people, who can help you to get rid of your conspiracy paranoia. These people are called psychiatrists.

  • @SH0LVA Funny... I was actually considering deleting his post, but I thought it would be interesting to see reactions to not only his comments but to others' and the vid itself... I feel this transmission has been positively identified as an Over The Horizon Radar signal. I'm leaving the vid up in case someone else has heard it and wondered what it is. Also, I STILL don't know the transmitter location(s) and would like them identified.

  • @Starbuckin That's correct. Such pulsed signals in the short-wave range are mainly OTHR-signals. Systems with multiply interferometric receivers send additional time- and phase-codes embedded in the pulses (ASK, FSK) to achieve a better synchronization and higher resolution. Another low frequency modulated source with f>30MHz are military plasma air-drag reduction systems. In such a case, a (conductive) RF-plasma is maintained around the wing-edges of a plane. A series of LF-coils in the....

  • (ff2)...hull (perpendicular B-vectors) are AF/AM-modulated and create eddy currents in the plasma. These currents create a repelling CEMF. Consequently, the pressure of the surrounding (ionized) air and the air-drag is drastically reduced. E.g. the B-2 spirit uses such a system to increase its range. You can hear a similar chirping noise like interferometric OTHRs. An identification is impossible due to reflections. I don't any longer handle conspiracy nuts with tin-foil hats by velvet gloves.

  • @SH0LVA NO MAN IT WAS ALIENS ISEEN THEM :P

  • @misnoto Dis you see the aliens before or after they had probed you by the golden, mind-enlighting 2"x1'-probe?

  • @SH0LVA YES they looked like Walter Cronkite... every... single... one of them ahhhhhhhhhh

  • @misnoto Yeah, but you haven't answered my really deep question yet. As a lover of the exo-ufoistic mythology, you should know, the truth isn't out there. It is right in your a**.

  • @SH0LVA LOL walter was in my ass, HOW DID YOU KNOW?

  • maybe its submarines throwing up its data to satelite or land receivers.

  • Not mysterious.

    Just OTH.

  • @pcjhappystation Maybe not to you but it's sure been VERY mysterious to me over the last 15 or 20 years. Pop Com and Monitoring times couldn't play audio like the Internet can. But thanks to several commentors like you and some research on my part inwhich I've managed to listen to other confirmed OTHR transmitters on several websites I agree with you that it's OTHR. It's STILL mysterious to me to THIS very day 'cause noone's said WHO's it is or WHERE it's transmitting from.. :)

  • @Starbuckin You will never get location from this video for this specific signal. There are hundreds of potential sources Worldwide and most frequency hop with conditions. Many of them have similar or identical transmission characteristics. But with this video we do not have enough distinguishing charactersitics. All we have here is a frequency (maybe not even cf), burst length (64 sweeps) and sweep time. Bandwidth and sweep rate could narrow the field, but still leave many possible sites.

  • Creepy...

  • To szwagier wierci dziury na szafke w kuchni!wielkie mi halo

  • I know that language!!!Aliens said:Fuck you human!

  • It's OTHR (over the horizon radar).

  • should call it a jake brake!hah

  • Finally I found someone who has also heard this! I've been recording these things for years. From what I have found, these transmissions range in sound from very high pitch and fast to very low pitch and slow. When I first heard it, it sounded like a helicopter, so I called it "the helicopter". A few times it sounded like an distortion guitar. These transmit on one frequency at a time, moving up and up to other frequencies through the whole spectrum. Very strange indeed.

  • @escalusdrax Yes, it's gratifying for me as well, to find somone else who's also been hearing the same signal as well! I've heard this signal in the strangest places!

  • U guys might know is it legal to broadcast on SW in the UK? Please reply on my page. thankyou

  • its usually shifting freqs while tx'ing when i hear it in Texas

  • @timnebo Yes, it only transmits on one frequency each burst (however, these are very wide frequency bursts), sometimes the subsequent burst will be a few clicks away, but still audible on the original frequency. It is one of the most familiar and favorite sounds fo me to hear on shortwave, hopefully shomeone will show up here and give the true identity of this transmission I monitored and recorded.

  • I have also observed that the signals are part of a series of differing stength signals likely to be from different locations working together in a switching manner ;)

  • I believe I "MAY" have discovered the identity of the signal. There is a website that has sound samples of OTH (Over The Horizon Radar) There is a system in Australia that sounds EXACTLY like this. However, I am still trying to confirm that that is the location of the ones I'm hearing. (Their not supposed to get this far, yet I've heard them for years.

  • I've always assumed it was some sort of Elaborate Tracking Signal or Evaluative signal, & I particularily I have noticed this signal whilst Freebanders running Excess Power are operating ;) Food for Thought ;) Enjoy ;)

  • Seti@home signal ...Arrfff 1420 mhz damage...

  • Sounds like land based 'over the horizon radar' (OTH). If you are receiving it "on just about every frequency imaginable between 3 and 30 MHz", then your receiver may be overloading or damaged (try attenuator). After attenuating the signal if you still receive it across the entire shortwave band it likely to be a very strong local signal or a problem with your rig/setup/earth. Hope this helps.

  • No, it only transmitts on one freq at a time, I was saying that in 15 years I've heard it just about everywhere.

  • @Starbuckin Ah, I understand now. OTH radar. Comes in several flavours, some Military others Civil. The higher baud -rate varieties are usually Naval. The one you've posted sounds like 25 baud which is low, hence likely land based. Have fun.

  • Russian Woodpecker maybe? Who really knows with all the "junk" in the atmosphere.

  • maybe HAARP also
