This signal was heard at 1245 UTC on 12168.0 KHz/USB on March 30th.
The burst waveform use a PSK-2 (prob. DBPSK) serial tone modulation of an 1800 Hz carrier at 2400 symbols per second (pics 1 and 2). Each transmission consists of 12 x 4000ms bursts, ending with a single 1500ms burst.
Each 4000ms burst consists of 8 x 500ms frames (pic.3), for a total of 9600 bits; ACF = 500ms/1200 bits (of course).
Each 1200-bit frame is structured as a preamble followed by a 67/134 bits period sub-frames, as shown in pictures 4 and 5 (the underlying sub-frames structure is also visible above in pic. 3).
Using a test-string such as "0011011000010101111" and synchronizing the stream on a 67-bit period, it's clearly visible that the burts send repetitive blocks of data.
