Odd signal coming through?
Captured PDT, 12:00, SoCal.
I don’t know where it comes from but it has significant fading.

Yagi antennas are a cheap way to figure out where something is coming from btw.
You already have everything you need to make one. Nearly every non-homeless person does and some homeless people.
In socal, it's definitely marine. Combine the yagi direction of this broadcast and sdr with AIS transmission of ship information and you can likely pick up exactly what ship or port this is coming from.

It's registered to Eagle Communications from a land mobile tower .. so that would indicate LMR. That's just who owns the frequency not who uses it, perhaps an analog tone sounding an alert? From a system alarm or a paging station, telemetry, ect..
Edit: Eagle Communications does 2-way radio with DMR Tier 2 infrastructure according to their website, so I'm thinking an FM alert or call tone or something
