[IRCA] 1610 tones

["Fred Schroyer" <ibfreditor@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know . . . the touchtones sound more like they are running
unintentionally from some device, than recorded. They totally swamp the
audio loop, to where it is barely intelligible. When I get a chance, I'll
stop by the welcome center and ask . . . but the people there likely won't
have a clue. This particular TIS once went about 2 years with 24/7 dial
tone! And another year or so w/OC, no mod. And another year off altogether.
(Does anyone pay any attention to these rural TISs? All it ever says is to
visit the PennDOT website for info.) // BTW, the continuous touchtones this
TIS is broadcasting make it an interesting DX target-very distinctive. I'm
astonished at the distance I can hear this TIS b/c of the tones, which fade
in/out thru CHHA at night. It's like they are broadcasting their own "morse"
for a DX test! Can anyone else hear it in the PA-OH-WV-MD area?

I hear the tones here on my local TIS as well. Just not with the beat that
yours has. Wonder if its just that the tones were recorded in the loop as
well and are being replayed with the audio.(but are a little hotter audio
wise?) Just a thought, Robbie in Wyoming
