	I've been looking at the same band for the past several mornings and
can't see anything here in Southern California except the CW signal
which sweeps through the band at a rate of about 200 Hz/minute.  Anyone
know what it is?  Sure been around a long time and seems to slow for an
ionosounder.  Only signal I've been able to hear in this band is Jim
Mandeville's and I haven't heard that for a long time.  It's noisy here
and propagation has been spotty, but will keep listening in hopes of
snagging something. Wonder if anyone out here is doing any better?
