Hello John and top banders. I have been hearing what appears to be the same on/off carrier transmission. I also hear one up near 1830 at the same time. The same slow CW tones. I believe these transmissions to be a form of QRSS or Very slow CW. We had an offending signal we thought was a stuck transmitter here in the NW about a year ago. We tracked it very close in Seattle before somebody surfaced that knew the guy was running QRSS. The signal went on for days just like the ones at the present. It finally went away with no ID discernable. I find it a bit hard to believe they are identifying their stations every 10 min as the rules call for. I will look at direction tonight if the signals are still on.

It is either a continuous carrier or a series of slow CW dashes. The signals I hear periodically from buoy beacons come and go. This one is persistent. I hear it only in darkness and not in daylight, so I presume it is beyond groundwave range. From my location near Boston, the signal peaks at a heading of approximately 230-240 degrees. Anyone else hear this? If so, from what direction? 73, John W1FV _________________ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
