The US had much the same, though they tended to have a much higher rate, maybe 50-100 Hz. You could occasionally pick them up on shortwave, though they were much more common in the HF and VHF bands. In the mid-60s I used to find them all over. I'd jot down their frequency, and started charting them. They'd hop around quite a bit. At the time no one would admit what they were, which was over-the-horizon radar. It didn't hurt/help that the installation doing it was some 10 miles from where we lived.
