N&O Round-up

Lars Lindh copied an unid station. I have no idea who or what it is. It could be a pulse jammer but also an over-the-horizon-radar. Lars copied the transmission on 10948 kHz. I have a sound sample available for those who want to hear it.
Another unid station transmitted on 14294 kHz. This one sounds like an interval signal from a broadcaster, namely the chirping of a bird. I also have a wav available of this signal.
Geoff Halligey also supplied an unid station log. He captured the following on 6382 kHz:
PAQ PAQ PAQ Y_ ?5Y_?5Y_?5 3 ?5== === ===
This was the full message, auto repeated over and over, in CW, QSA3, around midnight 2/3 January and at 1500 UTC on 3 January.
Geoff says: "At midnight 3/4 January he'd gone, but on this freq. (6382) was now TBA6 with his usual routine calling TBDJ on CW, but a different, more powerful, tx. Yet on the two previous nights, when PAQ was on the air, TBA6 was not. Coincidence?"

Info about the above mentioned stations is most welcome.
