1650 kHz "SAC" mystery 2217 UTC 10/28/2016
« on: October 28, 2016, 2222 UTC »
I don't even know where this log belongs, but here's an oddity.  Last night, 0340 UTC, hearing "SAC" repeated in morse code on 1650 kHz (yes, 1650 khz).  About 5 wpm, code heard above and below the broadcast station carriers +/- 400 Hz, easily audible on peaks and clearly visible on the SDR waterfall.  Sounds like a directional beacon, but 1650 kHz?  Conditions were heavily favoring the South last night and I suspect this was coming from the deep south.  Other MW DXers were catching it too from TX & AL.  Let's see if it's there again tonight.

EDIT: 2217 UTC, it's starting to fade in again right now tonight.

Anyone else hearing it?

Stumbled on it a few nights ago here in Texas fading in & out with heavy QRM.    There's been so much racket, I've been unable to get a directional null on it, but still trying.
