unid ASK2/OOK transmissions

Unid transmissions heard on 8120, 8130, 8140, and 8150 KHz (the latter moved to 8160 Khz) thanks to the KiwiSDR located at N4BUT Orlando, FL [1].

Fig. 1

At first sight the signal seemed a MPSK modulation, but working the signal along with my friend cryptomaster some other interesting features came out. Each transmission consists of four 100 Hz separated channels (a,b,c,d) each occupying a band of about 900 Hz, for a total bandwidth occupation of about 3900 Hz (Figure 2).

In turn, each of the 4 channels consists of 4 sub-channels with a modulation rate of 49.6 Baud, the used modulation seems to be ASK2/OOK [2].

Fig. 3

Each of the four sub-channels shows strong ACF peaks of 1290 ms corresponding to a 64-bit length frame: the "aggregate" frame therefore has a length equal to exactly 1 Kb, ie 1024 bits or 128 bytes (64x4x4).

Below in Figure 5 is a comparison of the four channels obtained from the analysis of my friend cryptomaster.

Although I have kept an eye on that initial portion of the 8 MHz band (fixed/mobile band, shared with marine for simplex purposes), those transmissions have not appeared again (at least until today): difficult to define their purpose and user(s).
