Unknown Signal 8200 Khz

[shortwaver]

Can anyone help identify this signal I heard today? It's been constant for at least 30 minutes when I turned on the radio at 2330 UTC today (3/14/22).

Here is a link to it.

I hear it too in PA.

I just noticed that it changes bandwidth. It was more narrow a few seconds ago, then switched back to the same bandwidth (wider) in the video I shared.

And it just stopped......No doubt a message of some sort.

...has anyone summoned @Token yet? Not sure if this makes its way out to him, but if there was ever someone who might know...

In USB I have a totally different sound like a sounder / propagation checker.

Looks like a STANAG broadcast - from and too? Only the receiver with his decoder knows that. I have a constant one here on 4.250MHz and a huge signal on 13.560MHz but that's on the 'Industrial and Medical' frequency whatever that does.

What you have here is the British PLUTO radar from the base of Akrotiri, Island of Cyprus, in this case in its medium range mode (up to maybe 6000 km) with a 25 Hz rep rate.

This is near the bottom (8000 kHz) of the PLUTO operating frequency range., which is to be expected at 2330 UTC. A couple hours later it would start moving up in frequency.

T!

Thanks for the information Token. That was an impressive signal at 8600 kms. A lookup shows its peak power capability at 135Kw!
