You're relatively new here, so here's a tip; the blue text a417 sent in his message represents a link. I would highly encourage you to read that first one, as it's pretty up to date. Blue text links are also common in our wiki, which is the largest radio related wiki on the planet, bar none.

Now to your question - 7527 khz (notice that it's common to refer to frequencies below 30 Mhz in this manner) is often noted in the Utility DXers Forum reflector on groups.io as using 'ALE' - specifically ALE/USB. ALE means Automatic Link Establishment, and goes by several other names. The USB indicates that the tones are sent on Upper Sideband. It is certainly possible - and several other organizations do this - to send those tones on the Lower Sideband. This is a digital mode that is, for the most part, easily decoded and copied

Some more information on this mode (many times it is referred to as '2G ALE') can be found here, along with links to apps that can copy it

Actually if you're into chasing COTHEN, that is one of the sub topics the Utility DXers Forum reflector on groups.io covers.


Joining groups.io is free and I've been a member for many years - no spam!

They have a website devoted to utilities and such that puts almost anyone else's to shame.....Mike

At no point did he accuse you of being spam.

In this thread alone, you have several high quality resources presented to you. If you save those links, peruse the information presented, and do some very light reading, you can vastly improve your knowledge about these things.

Knowledge is power.

Here in Florida for the last 2 weeks I have been monitoring 5732, 7527 and 10242 USB with lots of ALE-141 traffic. Sometimes especially helos can be heard with voice "securing guard" on frequency and switching to ALE.
