all I wanted to know.
And I apologize for busting our callsign, and other mistakes that I may
have made. I am still recovering from an
Kind of a pulsating buzzing sound, centred around 1915, but audible down to

It was particularly loud (S9 + 30) in the Northeast and ops with
Intruders are becoming endemic on all the hf bands, not just top band. Every
morning I hear SSB stations on the low end of 80m and 40m, and the worst of
all are 10m-12m, which have become a nightmare of swishing signals,
carriers, buzzing sounds and illegal CBers. I hadn't realized how bad the

HI-Z triangular for that info. Could be on
a path along coastline towards Maine.
Interesting appearance with the P3.
Somebody for sure isn't interested in
their electric bills.

It peaks at a heading of about 75 degrees from eastern MA, as best as I can
determine on a Hi-Z 8 circle array. I made a video of its spectrum as
captured on my Elecraft P3 and posted it on YouTube:

John W1FV,
You and I are in very close agreement on heading because you are 73 degrees
from me and we are both saying approximately 75 degrees.
I can hear it on numerous web SDR receivers that are located in Europe
(England, etc.). Will be interesting to see what time of day we can no

Signal strength was between 20 and 30 over 9 at that time. My friend
Fred, K2DFC, in NJ heard it then too, with a signal strength of 20 over
9. Since then, he's
