Yep, and here too in Victoria at 05:20.  I hear it on all my antennae, but perhaps best on 
my 334 deg large diameter loop, probably because it's getting less domestic splatter than the others.  Perhaps some really weak audio, but then again, it might only be splatter.  I agree that it can't be TP, but more likely an ill domestic transmitter.  I've also heard of the US military testing AM transmitters with tones and OC, so perhaps that's a possibility.  Like 1710 was DF'd, perhaps it's time to do the same for this visitor!  ....Walt Salmaniw, Victoria.
