Re: [IRCA] 1568 spike (gone)
Just to confirm what Bruce and Walt have already said, nothing on 1568/1552 today.

Re: [IRCA] 1568 spike
Hi Nigel, Tnx for the tip on 1552. I'm hearing that too and possibly about as strong as 1568. I checked 1568 all day yesterday and it was mostly the same strength anytime I checked. I'll check 1552 as well now. 1550 is a strong channel here unlike 1570 so that adds splatter to 1552 checks; 1568 is by itself. 1568 continues strong so far this morning, as yesterday.

Re: [IRCA] 1568 Spike
Was checking for TA carriers just now (0245 UTC), and noted a few, but none of terribly exciting levels. Also noticed the 1568 signal in also. Not quite as good as in the mornings, but quite strong. That would seem to indicate that its origin is somewhere a bit less exotic than the far east. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta Guy Atkins wrote: Hi Nigel and Walt, I found the spike on my Perseus recordings from this morning also.

Same thing here.

I hear it on all my antennae, but perhaps best on my 334 deg large diameter loop, probably because it's getting less domestic splatter than the others. Perhaps some really weak audio, but then again, it might only be splatter. I agree that it can't be TP, but more likely an ill domestic transmitter. I've also heard of the US military testing AM transmitters with tones and OC, so perhaps that's a possibility. Like 1710 was DF'd, perhaps it's time to do the same for this visitor!
