Hi Jay,
This seems unlikely, because the signal is so strong, unless you're saying the people are local. The signals are booming in, even with the attenuator enabled.
How much attenuation?
I wouldn't think that Mexican fighter pilots would be that close. No real obstructions between here and a geosynchronous bird, however.
Alternatively, it's a marine or business band transmission and you're picking up a birdie or image. The tone bursts at the end of the transmission are indeed unusual. Is there a "tail" like a double squelch or anything to indicate you're listening to a repeater?
I'm not that far from you, can take a listen. I assume you're using an omni antenna like an outdoor discone?
Anyone know of people good at transmitter hunting on the list? On second thought it could be local pot farmers and they aren't usually all that friendly...
Can you capture an mp3 and put it online?
