I keep running across this Signal(???) that appears to pop up on a single frequency then evolve into multiple tones that spread across the spectrum. Just before the signal stops,image it starts to collapse back into the single frequency it started with. (but the signal stops before it gets back to the original frequency). Has this question been asked and does anyone know what the answer is?

    It almost looks like a birdie from some piece of equipment nearby.

    How much time between when it starts to when it stops and does it start over again? Slow down the display rate?

    That looks like the “fan” pattern generated by many variable speed motors on HVAC equipment. Or it could be generated by one of the new front load washing machines. I used to see it a lot on 160 Meters. I’m surprised you get it all the way up to 15 Meters! Perhaps my HVAC was a little older than some of the new ones....

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
