The sweep I was referring to I've been hearing for years, anywhere between 2 thru 9 MHz. Never heard it higher than that, I think.

According to my notes last summer you could often hear the short chirp on 40m close to the ODD minute. It sounded like a raspy Morse "H". The sweep rate would accelerate from approx 50 kHz/s at the low end to 200 kHz/s up near 8 MHz.

(I used to log all that kind of stuff as an SWL: "Giant Step, Giant Step, this is Retail. Do not Answer...")

Interesting.  These are RF peaks, that move across the 1.8 to 2 MHz band, for instance.  They often stop on QSOs in progress, or flow thru them, sometimes reverse, may disappear, may take off in either direction. I assumed they are human caused.  ???
