[TenTec] 14,220 noise

You must be listening to a different signal than what I'm copying.  What I'm currently hearing (
0120z) on 14220kHz is a signal that is S7 to S9+ here in Chattanooga coming from a heading of around
280 degrees.  There is no music or language. There is no detectable carrier, much like ssb.
Listening in the ssb mode, there is something that sounds like 60 Hz AC hum and some other type of
modulation that appears as a series of semingly random pulses.  Bandwith appears to be around 2kHz.

I copy it as FM  need about 6kc or so of BW.  They are a language I do not
recognize.  They play music and had an English speaker telling what was
wrong with America.  Seems to be a news format.  Male and female voices.

In south Fl
