Re: [IRCA] V7AB 1098 OC with 60 Hz hum!



Noted from West Michigan too, V7AB is now peaking here past their 1130 UTC
sign off time.  And as Neil discovered, a distinct 60 Hz audible hum can
easily be heard on their open carrier during big signal peaks and clearly
visible on the SDR.  Here's a nice Perseus screenshot showing that hum (the
+/- 60 Hz lines centered on 1098 kHz) during one such signal peak:

No audible DUs heard this morning here, just the usual carriers.  One
interesting catch was 740 KATK from Carlsbad, NM. at 1140 UTC which hung in
there for about 10 minutes all alone until Baraboo, WI. blew it out of the
water a few mins before 1200 UTC.  KATK only logged two other times here.
I still need these K calls on 740: KIDR-AZ, KVFC-CO & KCIK-HI (I can dream!)
