Re: [IRCA] Off-frequency station on 1550

["Fred Schroyer" <freditor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Back in mid-August, I was hearing a faint-to-strong het on 1550 during my
daily commute (0800-0900 & 1830-1930 EDT), from southwestern PA to northern
WV. Without measuring, I guessed ~300 Hz, a lot more than your 112 Hz beat.
The het was absent at lunchtime & occasionally audible at night. Never had a
chance to direction-find it at home. I assumed it was a badly detuned TIS
somewhere, altho all 1550 TISs are 200+ miles from me. The het disappeared
last week. This may have no relation to what you are hearing, but thought
I'd toss in another possible data point!

Can anyone out out in the south Midwest try to help find out who the
off-frequency station on 1,549,888 is?
It's probably on the general area of the Smokies, as it seems to loop at
about 90? from Greenville, North Carolina. It's not WBSC, Bennettsville:
WCLY, Raleigh; WVAB, Virginia Beach, or WBFJ Winston-Salem (who e-mailed me
that they are 1,550,001). It's coming in on skywave w/ith a rather short
fading period so it's not much past 500 miles.
I could be totally off DF-wise, so anyone else please take a look. I'm using
WLLY-1530 Chapel Hill, North Carolina as a reference, and it looks to loop
about 5? south of them.
