Re: [IRCA] Info on 1610, 1020 and 590

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This time yesterday (2130Z) the 1610.03 kHz test 
signal carrier and audio was easily detectable, today it is not there.

Today on 1020 kHz I have WRHB Kendall, FL, and 
Radio Reloj Jobabo, LT, so I can't sort out the 
carriers but I can detect three steady audio 
tones with Spectran on 970, 1000, and 1020 
Hz.  The 1 kHz tone is only just now coming up on 
the display (2149Z), but is probably the test 
tone.  No idea what the other two are, possibly hets.

Took a little longer to hear, but it looks like 
the test signal is coming in down here on 1020 
kHz.  Still too weak to try for any bearing, may 
be impossible with everything else on the channel.
