Re: [IRCA] 1500 KHz "Mystery Station"

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

Thank you for volunteering. Iâll go outside tonight and try to make the best possible loop bearing towards the noise from my location. I hope that others will contribute as well. 

So far, Iâve seen the following reports. 

Fred Schroder (No Location given) 
Amigos, I took my CCrane Skywave out on the deck tonight around 2115 EST,
and heard the strange noise on 1500 that some are reporting. It was pretty
faint behind WFED, but distinctly there, kind of high-pitched & rough like a
steady bandsaw heard faintly from a great distance. What I have to
contribute to the conversation is this: the signal very clearly DF'd almost
perfectly east-west, and I sit right on the 40 deg N latitude line. So from
my QTH, due west is Denver and due east is Philly. For what it's worth . . .
does my DF data square with any of yours? You-all have much more
sophisticated equipment/experience than I do.
