What Is This?

T

The_Chaz

I am fairly new to this whole radio thing and I thought is was pretty cool so I got an sdr dongle and started listening for things. I found the local fire station and thought that was pretty cool, but after a while I got bored of that and started slowly scrolling down frequencies. As I was scrolling I saw a huge spike at 152.288 pop up the go back down just as fast. I figured it was another emergency station or such so i listened for a while and all it is is a beep then static then another beep and its gone. That was a few months ago. Today I was doing the same thing and heard is again. I Listened to it for a good hour or so (and I'm still listening as I write this) and I still don't know that it is. Most of the time it is very short, but today I heard some weird sounds. Some of the beeps are way lower than all the others and some last for a few minutes. If you can identify what this is I would really like to know. Here is a sample of the audio:

ps. I just made this account 5 min ago and am new to this forum, if this is in the wrong place or something please let me know.
 
My first reaction was: it's a carrier from a mobile paging system....then, looking at the frequency, I don't think paging is used on this segment of the band....
Are you located near an airport? Some aircraft systems use equipment in the 75 MHz band....what you're hearing could be a 2nd harmonic.....
Just a couple of guesses....Anyone else???!
 
I am about 8 miles from the Little Rock Air Force Base and 20 miles from the Little Rock Air Port. I don't think its them though

Here is the Morse code in audacity so it is visible. I got "Wrv961" from it. but I'm not very good with that kind of stuff.

I read it as WRV961 which comes back to licensee:

AMS Spectrum Holdings, LLC
1720 Lakepointe Drive, Suite 100
Lewisville, TX 75057-6425
ATTN J. Roy Pottle

And a control point address:

1013 E. 2nd Street, SMITH, Tyler, TX
P: (903)595-8800

Seems that Tyler and Lewisville, TX are pretty far from Cabot, AR, so there must be some paging facility owned by AMS much closer to the Arkansas location, or the band was really open.

Everything online says that it is a medical messaging service. Is there a way that someone could listen to the messages?
