Other / 6950 Mystery Carrier

« on: August 04, 2013, 1217 UTC »

For several days now I have noticed a carrier on 6950. I'll see it in the morning, it is present now at 1215z, fairly strong, about an S8. It will then fade out over the course of the morning.

I don't notice any useful modulation on it, but there does seem to be 60 Hz hum.
