Hudson CO. NJ TIS on 1710 loud and clear signal here this morning just before dawn
with no QSB (probably still on the "temporary" authority) but the audio was almost
unintelligible on certain announcements in spite of the good signal.

Re: WQFG689, with CW beacon under it!

Work wasn't ready for me Friday night, so I DX'ed MW on the truck stereo. Listening to that Hudson Valley TIS on 1710kHz, at 03:20UTC, I heard CW under the main TIS signal, but not for long. So, I didn't ID that. The TIS provided the carrier, and that CW beacon must have been a couple of kHz off FREQ. So, did I hear one of those Part #15 CW MW beacons? Possible, but it was very short. Anyone else hearing that?

Gave it a listen this morning for a bit, did not hear any CW.
However, heard what sounded like another signal mixing and beating with the TIS.
