Clicking "code like" sounds from 144.285MHz

youtu.be...


I took video of the sound yesterday, it starts mid sound but starts again at 0:45. It occurs in a regular and predictable pattern. It's still going today.

I just have a scanner, and I was surfing through the Amateur bands, I can sometimes get the ISS on 145.800MHz.

Anyway the surfing stopped on the beat and I just kept listening to it. I have driven away from my home with it, and it still keeps right on going.

Have a listen and see what you think.....

As my 7 year old put it yesterday, "even if it's nothing mom, it's still a good beat and you can dance to it."


UPDATED: It has been solved. It's this guy;

There was a thread posted yesterday I believe? Any way, it was about a pulsing or something on a certain frequency

sounds like the morse code we just need a ww2 vet to decipher it

Here it is

This one is a directional beacon. Info here:

Haha! That's funny, but at the risk of sounding totally dumb, why would someone do that?

In this case to test antenna and antenna systems designs most likely.

I know it's solved, but for future reference and enjoyment with your nice scanner, here's a link to our band plan. www.arrl.org...

144.275-144.300 is dedicated to the propagation beacons. I had to figure out what that was when I first heard one too.

wrong thread

I take offense to that statement.

There's many a Hammers out there who are vary savvy in Morse, I being one of them, I participate in a lot of CW keying.

Ditto on CW. Code is the Yogi Bear of sweet, sweet DX.

Although I got my general after the code requirement expired, I am still good for about 15-20 wpm when I keep current. Morse is still the standard for aviation directional beacon identifiers as well.

Why? Because code gets through when all other modes fail.

That's why I'm trying to learn it! I'm going to try to upgrade to general this spring. I'd like to be able to be proficient at CW sometime thereafter
