[160m] BCI on 160

It appears a station in Texas or in that direction has a 
problem on 160.

I hear a buzzy carrier on 1809.4 that is a mix of FM and AM 
modulation. This is typical of a parasitic oscillation in a 
AM transmitter.

You might copy the audio better by tuning slightly off to 
one side of the carrier.

If anyone can get a good callsign of that station please let 
me know. K5BG reports it as KREW near Lubbock Texas, but it 
would be nice to get a second ID confirmation. The audio  is 
a little too distorted and weak to get a positive ID here in 
Georgia even though the buzzy carrier is almost S8.


Thanks,
