Hi.
I don't have my FT2000 working as yet so could not check this, but I
have noticed this type
of signal before. It's usually Russian in origin and they use the
amateur bands as and when
they wish to test, park and idle these type of RTTY signals. A message
to our Intruder Watch
would be the best thing to do, so I have included Chris in as CC with
this message. He has
some very good connections and can usually wave his "magic wand" at
these intruders.
Hope you don't mind me copying you in with this one Chris.

Hi All,
As Roger has said, this is very likely to be Russian military in
origin. It has been identified as a Moscow based, 75 Bd 250 Hz shift
data transmission by the German IW in cooperation with their PTT. The
Russians totally ignore amateur band and other `exclusive' HF allocation
restrictions and please themselves where they transmit. They have done
this for the 40+ years that I have had a licence and I cannot see them
suddenly adopting a responsible and civilised attitude!
Sorry that nothing official can be achieved. The only compensation is
that they tend to use these frequencies for only a few days at a time
before they QSY on to someone else's `exclusive' allocation!
