[IRCA] 1181 Mystery carrier

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

I fired up Spectran this morning and 1181 was rock solid at 10:30 am 
ET, Aug 19 2007.  Not very strong, might be missed if just listening, 
but with narrow filters and the Spectran display, the signal was 
obvious.  Close as I can tell -- though I couldn't tweak my receiver 
tuning very well because only 10 and 15MHz WWV could be heard -- the 
frequency seems to be spot on, assuming 1181 is the intended frequency.

I listened and watched the signal all night last night until about 
2am local.  There was some fading but the signal was always there 
except for a brief period between 1149 and 1152 ET when it seemed to 
suddenly switch off then back on.

Efforts to DF were unsuccessful last night, using a couple portables 
and a Quantum Loop.  Nothing could be determined with the 
portables.  A slight dip in signal strength was noted with the loop, 
but it was inside and weather precluded outside measurements.
