Something similar to WWV heard on 28.325

[mr_fx]

Last night I finished my 160m, 80m and 40m work then I switched to 28.325, but I forgot to switch the antenna to my 10m antenna, weirdly enough I could hear a signal similar to the WWV, hitting as high as an s3, when I went back to my 10m antenna I could just barely hear it, at least I think I could... anyway I am at a loss as to what this was.

propagation beacon maybe?

it's still there, but why is it easier to hear on my 160/80/40 antenna? Is it just the crazy amount of wire in the air?

Why don't you research it and tells us that is.

I would not even know what terms to use to research it

Your 160 antenna is sort of like a long wire receiving antenna.

can ya post a recording?

How long did you listen to this?If it were a time interval signal I think it would ID eventually in either voice or CW.I doubt any government would have a standard time station in an international amateur band.

There are beacons on 28.325. May have been the DF0THD beacon.

I know, that's what I said 'similar'

I am wondering if you are close to an AM broadcast station I had a similar thing happens years ago and it turned out to be a harmonic that I was hearing. I can't even remember how the radio engineer explained how it would happen but it had something to do with a corrosive connection on the antenna I was using.
