I've still got it, and it still sounds weird. Right now the pitch is changing much more slowly than when I posted the thread...and there are still some kind of RTTY-ish sounds behind it. Man this thing is weird. I took my AR-8000 with me to my parent's house the other day and was getting the same thing a town over. If you guys want I could probably make an .MP3 of it.

No signal for me near Kansas City using a WinRadio connected directly to my Dell 4600 desktop computer and a broadband outside antenna. I've checked a.m., lsb, usb, cw and f.m. modes. Zip. I'll try out the 996 later today.

The frequencies stops in my scanning bank all the time but nothing coming threw? When put the squelch up it does not even do anything but go one or two up the squelch is present..
So I would say something is their but with no noise to it?

im hearing it here in bartlesville, oklahoma loud and clear on my VR-500 with RS telescoping ant.
Im on 324.000LSB hearing ~
Beep, Beep, Beep, beepbeep(lower tone, and both beeps are faster than the first three)
Then i hear what sounds like RTTY, then it returns to the beeps. Occassionally i hear a varying tone.
Must be some form of satcom. since it seems to be heard from many places.

Yeah you pretty much described it exactly, Weasel. I'll post an MP3 later for those who can't hear it. Need to find my Sound Forge CD first though.

Just a few minutes ago i heard what sounded like a scrambled voice transmission.
Very garbled and the beeping was still present. No idea what was (if anything), but sure does sound strange!

I just turned on my radio over here and it sounds much different right now than it has the past few days. If I had to make a severely uneducated guess, I'd say it has gone from "idle" to "doing something". I'm listening to it on AM by the way. I tried USB and LSB but I hear more stuff on AM.
Recording coming soon.

Welp...
As I was setting up my computer to record the audio from the scanner, I noticed the sound changed dramatically to something entirely different. Since I haven't totally discredited the possibility of local interference, I started looking around to see if any of the devices in my house are doing anything different. Turned off the computer...nope. Turned off the TV...nope. Unplugged all charging devices...nope. Turned off lights (fluorescent)...nope. Then I noticed my DVR was recording something...hmmmmmm.
So I grabbed the remote and stopped the DVR...sound changed! Turned off the DVR...sound gone!
Remember I said I took my radio to my parents house and heard the same thing? Well, they have the same DVR from Time Warner that I do. Gee, that would certainly explain it :lol:
In conclusion:
and I feel like a retard. At least I solved my own little mystery, heheh. Sorry for the wild goose chase everyone.
Oh, by the way, Weasel...do you happen to have a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HDC?

lol nope... might have to see if someone around my apt does though!
They're using our own satellites against us. The signal is diminishing, when it stops the attack begins.

This is the sport of it all. heh, heh.
My Dish Network DVR is right next to my radio and no spurious 324. Mhz. signal, so Dish must not have this strange property. I HAVE been noticing a very high noise level on my Winradio spectrum scope between about 415 and 419.5 MHz. since getting sat. TV though. I wonder if THAT is coming from the DVR. Something else to try . . . .
