>>720 kHz: KDWN has seemed much less a bother this year than in the past, so I have been hearing a variety of low level things here at max. dawn. Yesterday, I was sitting here at 1330 and, way in the mud, I heard what just had to be the VOA "Yankee Doodle" interval signal. I heard it TWICE. The first time, I couldn't believe my ears, but the second time.... In any case, there is nothing in PAL for a VOA outlet. I do notice a VOR outlet in Kamchatka, though, and I know that VOA buys time on some VOR Far Eastern transmitters, so that is my best guess. Anyone ever heard this??

Affiliates are local stations that carry VOA programs at times. Nothing listed there either. That leaves at least two possibilities: something relatively new that isn't listed on the VOA website yet - or - a domestic station that happened to be running an ad or promo or whatever that included a few bars of Yankee Doodle

Unfortunately, I turned off the SDR before 13:30 as well. I did go back and review the Perseus files I have from other mornings, and of the 8 or 10 I have at that time period, nothing on 720 that sounds like Yankee Doodle. This morning, there was the split on 720, presumably from the North Korean, producing quite the het. Sorry I can't be of more help, John...Walt
