weird signal 240.0

[ctiller]

Scanning through Mil Air band in AM mode, I started picking up some amateurish sounding CW. That kind of faded out before I could decode anything, but now I hear basically an open carrier (can hear what sounds like a TV in the background and some banging around of dishes or something). I switched the mode to NFM and it seems like it's in FM. I'm used to Brazilian pirates on satcom, but I'm not sure this is a sat channel. Any ideas? I've yet to hear any voices. Actually it sounds pretty clear in WFM..

Sounds like a harmonic from some nearby device, like this thread:

266.1 mhz WFM satcom ?

I thought about that, but weird to have the kind of sloppy and slow sounding CW at first. That's what's throwing me off. But it is a possibility

sloppy and slow sounding CW

All coming from a nearby amateur?

in my part of the world wireless mics that are used with karaoke systems are mixed in with sat/mil air band frequencies. they are actually WFM 180K but the bandwidth changes with volume so a quiet room with the mic open can be heard with a NFM setting. sounds just like a open mic baby monitor when not singing.

you should hear what goes on on a Saturday night. very drunk women singing way off key.
