[Milsurplus] HF Interference

[B Smith]

It has been reported  from several locations in Europe that mysterious 
signals are being heard over the entire HF spectrum and our amateur 
bands have been affected. In addition SAQ in Grimeton Sweden failed to 
make its transmission
this morning on 17 Khz  due to some sort of problem which may be tied 
to the interference.

 In addition a very wide and noisy beacon with Morse code was heard on 
40 meters and 20 meters near 7.067  Mhz and 14.134 and also on 21.201, 
it is believed that the main transmitter is on 7.067 Mhz and the other 
frequencies are the 2nd and 3rd harmonics.

The transmissions  contain some sort of  Morse code with     . . . 
  ---
 (    dot dot dot dot            dash dash dash  )      repeated over 
and  over usually in sets of three.

NORAD is also  tracking what appears to be some sort of communications 
vehicle emitting  high levels of RF at 0110Z, the vehicle is cruising 
at high altitudes and approaching 600 KIAS  and  presently leaving the 
Ireland Coast on a North East Track.

I have my R-390A  and a Transworld 100 warmed up and monitoring but I 
do not hear anything. If anyone hears anything please advise  via the 
milsurplus list with frequency and time etc.
