I'm hearing this signal again tonight - definitely the same as in Paul's 
recording.  It sounds identical when tuned to 1370 USB or 1390 LSB.  
Since it's symmetrical around 1380, that indicates it's likely a 
spurious emission from a 1380 station.  I haven't been able to correlate 
it with a particular station yet, but its strength indicates that it has 
to be somewhere in the Northeast.  At the top of my list of candidates 
is WABH, dominating here tonight with a signal that sure sounds more 
like their 10 KW day power than 450 W night power, but there are other 
possibilities, such as CKPC.

More observers needed...
