Re: [IRCA] 1650 Mystery Beacon "SAC"



Les, I'm on the NDB listserver, as well.  I saw your note that your had contacted Southern Avionics, but that they had said that it was not they with the mystery NDB on 1650.  With Craig in Oviedo, Florida stating that he was getting it strongest on a SW bearing from his QTH, I'm wondering if this is emanating from some offshore drilling platform in the Gulf?

Yes, I passed the SAC reception info on to ndblist yesterday. One guy in
FL heard SAC; and one guy in France heard it and even included an audio
clip. It seems to have 400 Hz sidebands. No one on ndblist has any
additional info. It's a brand new signal at least for ndblist.
