Fast, lengthy mysterious morse 7710kHz

All has been quiet in this part of the world for shortwave stuff...

This rapid morse code was caught on 7710kHz, and it sounds "generated" to be precise, not like what you'd normally hear amateurs transmitting (and it's not usually where amateurs would transmit).

It was broadcasting non-stop for about an hour, paused at quarter past the hour, and began on the half hour again, which hints at being something perhaps out of the ordinary.

Interestingly enough, it's only 15kHz down from the rapid Asian numbers broadcast (which after one month is still babbling away).

Wow, same frequency too? Random 5 character groups points to it being a numbers station, but I hate to jump to conclusions, maybe it's a beacon of sorts.. Thanks for the info :)

I found this one night and copied it for a few minutes. It's random 5 character groups.

little rusty, but wiki says the non standard chars are

OE = ---. = ö

AA = .-.- = ä

MM = ---- = 'ch'

IM = ..-- = ü

sounds like an auto key, freq is drifting a little so old transmitter, probably eastern europe

[PugFuker]

i actually know and work with people who don't trust the government, so instead of phone, or email, (because they comm over distance) they built digital decoders for their own morse code, but this isn't it, they usually use higher freqs, and faster tones.

@smokeyassassin Great work!

73 from Bulgaria and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[j1mf1eld]

Sounds like a robot rave to me.

[jjones08101]

Military, Soviet or Soviet trained .._.. is one of their special characters......just depends on what user/region is sending.

[xXJeeXTeeXAyeXmanXx]

i hear the letters *start transmitting* GIG GIG GIG GIG GIG *stop transmitting that repeats every six seconds. ands its on the aviation band...

[ianster0102]

i know its just a random set of numbers and letter but can some one give me the translated code

[classicmacintosh]

@thefluffinator229 some sort of encryption possbily?

I'll have a playabout with the text.

[thefluffinator229]

too much interference for a logical message but this is all that came through on a 2000 freq. setting: eeeetrdr÷bintditueeteeaeqfpwwe­tttieøvrtøekiteeeeetttttettbey­tfeetteeee

not much sense

[escueladeleyi]

sounds as if it is being tapped out by hand
