This would rule out speculation about Ft Monmouth NJ it would seem. Also Aberdeen PG. Looks as if my guesses are wide of the mark. But why stop now? We're having MORE fun than a DX'er should be ALLOWED to have ! Two possible candidates in the area you describe could be Camp A P Hill in northernmost Va, or the FBI facility at Quantico. Back in my college days I used to drive back and forth through A P Hill on Rt 207 after leaving 301 in Md. and picking up US 1 north of Richmond, on my travels between NJ and NC. (this was before I-95 was even built). It's a big area. Or could we even deign to bring out the name Vint Hill? I thought the "company" shut that one down and it's in the area as well. Don't forget that this tone being heard so well is that it's basically a "CW ID" that we love so much on DX tests, except that the key is locked in the "on" position. It's pushing through right now at 2230 local time. The mix on 1020 is Kendall in kreyol, and reloj from Cuba, about even, with no sign of KDKA, as usual here on the west coast of Fl. - Bob, Tampa FL 2241 est _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
