[Elecraft] Horrible signal on 10130

[Fred Jensen]

It's been there, 24/7 it seems, since we first got 30m.  I think it's 
one of the primary users we are supposed to avoid QRM to.  850 Hz shift, 
decodes just fine in MixW and MMTTY to continuous random characters 
which would be characteristic of most of the not-so-new TTY encryption 
devices.  It's pretty strong daytime here on the western frontier.  It's 
at most, about 2 KHz wide, which would be about right for 850 Hz shift 
RTTY.  I haven't heard anything else around it, but I'll listen around 
0400Z tonight.
