not active yet, no call mentioned. 1) Anatoly Klepov, Moscow, wants
QSL for October as he requests every month. 2) at 1906, Jayanta

than the 6 MHz frequency aimed at India. 3) at 1909, Chris --, Port

big deal, not a quickie, especially on weekends, such as: white bread

** U S A. 9890, Oct 11 at 2219, approx. peak of splatter from 9930
WTWW where it`s overmodulatedistorted; splat range down to 9870 and
above 9900 but not so much on plus side. I notified George and he
replied that could not see any of that on his new spectrum analyser
three hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1431.0 kHz, Oct 11 at 2235 UT, the mystery carrier is
already audible at Maryland remote. By 0148 Oct 12 I`m hearing it
direct, and at 0205 I DF it again on the handheld DX-398, concluding
that it is due east from Enid. That would be TN or NC, or maybe
closely neighboring states. Try various remotes in TN, some getting it
in Nashville, but very weak. Into KK4OVW, it`s somewhat separable at
0250, music on 1431, talk on 1430, so I wonder if it`s WYGI Madison
TN.
I encourage others to chase it. See these threads:

Ultimately: ``WYKG, Covington, GA, hip hop and techno weakly here in
ECFL at 0330+ Z, parallel their webfeed. -- David E. Crawford, Indian
River City, Florida Libre``
That`s in northern GA, just ESE of Atlanta, close enough to my DF.
WYKG is U1 3900/212 watts. So I try closest remotes to that. Athens is
getting it. So by daytime at 1506 I try that again: yes, two lines on
the waterfall, but there, 1431 is stronger than 1430. Then, Eatonton
GA SDR: 1431 *only*, not 1430, but nothing audible.
Mike Cooper, near Atlanta, at 1554: ``believe it is Covington, Ga. I
have daytime reception of the 1431 carrier (with faint audio) from my
location, about 30 or 40 miles away``
My question is: how could a station accidentally transmit 1 kHz
off-frequency, punch-up error? Or why would they do it deliberately?
If FCC still operated a monitoring station at Powder Springs GA, it
might have noticed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
