Can anyone identify these interfering signals on 10 Meters?

Ken - NM9P

I observed these alternating signals on 10 Meters this morning (10/3/2014) at about 1300Z
#2 sounded for about 5 seconds and was answered by # 1 for about three seconds.
This back-and-forth repeated for at least 15 minutes while I was getting screen shots of it.
It stopped for about 10 seconds and I thought it was done, but started up again.
It is about 75 Khz wide.

It looks like some kind of wide band digital file transfer.
It experienced fading consistent with morning HF propagation so I don't think it is local.

Any takers?

Frequencies?

Sound files would help too!

Ken:

Can you post the screen shots?

Doh!  I forgot to post them.....Let me see if this works...Sorry, I Don't have sound files.

I am seeing the identical signal: same frequency. Peaking a -110 dbm in Alabama on a 20m simple dipole.

The two solid traces/spikes that bracket the pictures are local RFI. The rest is the signal in question. It is very curious. At first I thought it was my Uverse internet router or TP-Link gigabyte switch, but now am sure that it is "out there!"

It is  an Over the Horizon Radar believed to be from Iran.  Its been reported by the folks in IARU Region 1 and has been confirmed heard in the US and in South America.

PS: I'm an Intruder Watch volunteer and the note re this signal was in my email this am.

They are still on at 15:11Z
One signal extends from about 28.570 to 28:630 with spurs out to 28.660
The shorter, responding tone is wider, extending from about 28.540 to 28.660 with lighter spurs detectable from 28.525 to 28.700

Maximum signal strengths on my 160 Offset Fed Dipole at 38 ft have reached as high as -92 dBm.

Can anyone with a steerable antenna get a fix?

I see the same in NC.  S6 on peaks

Stu, while you are at it, please report an idiot CBer on 27.025who calls himself the "Number 7 on the Westside"  He was literally 3 MHz wide!  I found him while trying to scan for a station putting a very distorted and unintelligible signal about 21.204 who was about 10 KHz wide.  I thought it might be harmonics or inverted spurs from a station on 10 meters.  Then I found this guy!  The widest signal I have ever seen on CB.  I wouldn't care much what happens down there, except his spurs are even getting into the 10 Meter band!  He is apparently winning a bandwidth war with the "Swampdog" who is about 100KHz wide.

Best thing is to call the OOC (Official Observer Coordinator) for your ARRL section - their name and contact information should be in QST.

They can gather information and make sure that (eventually) the FCC will get in the loop - it will have to be a persistent offender to get actioned but if it is, it will be!

Well, nice to know there's prop to Iran. Now we need some operators there. Especially ones who LoTW QSL!

Listening the same signals on 10m with s5-s9, on 12m with s5-s9
on 17m with s4-s9 Can just confirmed that this is signal from over horizon system

any old timers remember 'The Woodpecker'?  I even heard it once on the am bcb !!

Another good one on 10m. That band gets so much "attention" from interlopers, eh?

Ken - NM9P

That's why my IC-745 (ca. 1985) had a two-position noise blanker and why I modified the noise blanker on my TS-850 (ca. 1993) , which had two positions that didn't work until modified.  it was brutal!  But at least it was a constant tempo and width, so it could be blanked.
