[IRCA] Re: TP carrier on 1098 - false alarm?

["Bill Harms" <wharms@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it is 1340 UTC and the carrier is still there as strong as ever and does not show 
signs of fading out.  It is not there when I disconnect the antenna.  So, it is not 
coming from my receiver.  It is possible it is something in the ether generated local 
and I have been fooled by it.  If is still here at 12 noon, I will know i have been fooled.
