My own beacon !!!!! I just figured it out today. On that frequency there
are a lot of " Lines " When my beacon was off, the lines were there,
When it was on, I didn't really notice any severe desense, but the lines
would go away. I watched the timing of my beacon in regards to the lines
showing up, did a little math, and the 30 sec, and 60 sec, spaces between
the " XR " characters created a perfect carrier line blanked copy of what
appeared to be: Beacon " SNA " , confirmed it by turning it off, and by 
running a straight carrier. Slightly embarrassed, but figured it out.
Y'all can stop lookin now !!!  73:
