  Regarding a mystery test tone widely received on 1610 kHz Nov 29-30, the
following post is from longtime DXer and former CBS Engineer Bob Foxworth,
now living in Tampa, FL. The test tone moved from 1610 to 1020 kHz, noted
by longtime DXer Ben Dangerfield near Philadelphia on 1022 EST Friday, Dec
1 - an hour before Bob Foxworth's post. It would appear that the US Gov't
is preparing transmitters to broadcast info into Cuba at the time of
Castro's death. -- "A posting on one of the BC lists within the hour states:
1610 was 'legit and approved.' 10 kW from an unspecified east coast
location. Content 1 kHz tone, nothing else (no hidden data, etc). 1610
test is finished. Testing now on 1020, look tonight and Sat night (Dec
1-2). Then testing on 590 from Tue to Friday (Dec 5-8). Then, done. The
purpose, authority or location was not given by the poster. I am sure more
detail will be forthcoming. Some BC people are looking at Ft. Monmouth NJ
(home of an Army communications command) as a possible site based on some
DFing they did with FIM-41s. Finally some are speculating this is in
preparation for the presumed coming demise of el maximo in order to have
radio assets set to deploy." [Bob Foxworth, via Marc DeLorenzo, BADX]
