Hi Todd,

As one referred to in your comments, I would defer to Neil on this one. 
Unless you can ID something about the signal, the music, language, station
ID, or other identifiable characteristic it is best to err on the side of
caution, and not claim it. Another way would be direction finding, but with
skywave propagation anomalies this is not necessarily a sure bet.

73 to all,

Mike Bates
