[Lowfer] 133.184 kHz

[John Andrews]

Warning: Humorless posting follows!

I had a chance to observe the strong signal on 133.184 kHz this morning
around 1130Z. The frequency is 133.18387 kHz, as close as I can read it.
With Argo's AGC off (visual gain set to Lo), and the sensitivity backed way
down, it appears to be a steady carrier. There are some faint sidebands at
intervals of 10.8 Hz on each side of the carrier. The first order sidebands
appear to be 22 dB down from the carrier. I don't think that any real
information is being sent here. Two possibilities:

1. The sidebands are being created in my receiver.

2. They represent incidental phase modulation on the actual signal.

Audibly, I just hear the steady carrier.

I didn't have time to determine a direction. From the information on hand, I
still suspect CFH as being the source.
