To be an harmonic (x5), fundamental would have to be 330 kHz instead, possible if this is just for testing; or 275 x 6. So this is overcoming the 1650 broadcasters? Does anyone get a DF on it? --- Glenn Hauser

 It
 is probably some sort of a harmonic of a beacon that has
 been reported on 320 and 325 khz. The offset of this
 beacon has been reported at either 398 or 400 hz above and
 below center frequency. It supposedly belongs to Southern
 Avionics and the location is Beaumont Texas.

 "SAC" Morse Code oddity
 
 When I see the letters "SAC," I
 think of "Strategic Air Command." Doubt 
 there's any connection but just wanted to
 bring that up.
