Question Point to Point (MIMS)

There has been a recording going over point to point (MIMS) all day long. It airs every 20 seconds. It is a foreign voice saying " 1 2 3 4 5 ?" Then there is three short tones.

Does anyone know what this is about?

Heard in Waseca County, MN.

Have you been able to narrow down where it the strongest signal come from? MIMS is usually from a base station. So should be from a tower site.

I think it may be coming from either somewhere in southwest waseca, freeborn, blue earth, or faribault county.

Its not coming in from steele co on the online feed based in Owatonna. (it does say point to point is in the scan list)

as of 21:04 tonight it's still going out every 20 seconds

Q: Is it Mac compatible?
A: No. Drive your hybrid down to the store and get a real computer.
