10 GHz radar?

I am sitting here in EM77wx with the antenna pointed at Cincinnati, a heading of 351 degrees.

I am looking at a 96 Khz slice of spectrum centered at 10368.035 Mhz.  I am seeing 40 khz wide pulsed RF every 2-3 seconds with a more intense burst about every minute.  It is stronger when I point the antenna toward Lexington.  That may indicate that the signal is originating out of Bluegrass Airport.

I have never seen this sort of thing before.  Conditions are not that good.  K9AYA’s 10368.00 beacon is only 6 dB above the noise. It is the first signal I’ve heard of it in several days.

I will continue to watch this condition and report anything new that I see.
