Maybe you meant to say "encouragment"? To operate legally? No such thing as "freebands"...that's for people too stupid or just too lazy to take and pass an amateur radio license test. You can do that now if you have a pulse. No brain required. And, as mentioned above, there is no longer a woodpecker..What you recorded is some kind of local technology noise.

Obviously.

thats funny, as most of the operators I hear from 27405 to 28000 talk and conduct themselves like ham ops, with made up call numbers, q-signals and all else. Sounds nothing like CB operators. Just face the facts, some hams are bad. Has shit to do with intelligence, and everything to do with ideals of morality and ethics. I know of bad hams with extra class tickets who love to talk just outside of the HF bands. There's another "freeband" down somewhere between 6500-7000 thats quite active. DX is a ham thing, freeband DX is a ham thing.
Some people like being able to speak their mind, while being semi-anonymous, or having a nice quite frequency to use, or their license expired and they dont give a damn to get another one. Or maybe the'yre just sick of all the QRZ type s, wannabe radio cops and unpaid wannabe underlings for the FCC.

I'll stop using the fed's unused frequencies when they give me back the 1/2 of my 401K they stole to give to Bank of America, AIG, Goldman Sachs, and the other criminals.

As Jazzsinger mentioned, this isn't isolated to just the "freeband" area of the spectrum. I have read of others hearing/seeing it on the 20m and 80m bands. I have personally heard it on 20m.

ok, I will stop with the freebands when they stop with the freeborder and limit their powers to those granted by our constitution

that doesn't surprise me, what i heard was a very very strong signal,most likely being propagated by skywave, far in excess of any other signals present on the band at the time, the hallmark of military and no doubt with the ability to work anywhere on the hf spectrum taking full advantage of propagation conditions at any given time.

the other thing it could be is ionospheric sounding equipment, similar to haarp in alska. i say similar because god knows what haarp is really capable of. one things for sure, it reeks of nikola tesla.
