Sometimes I get decodes of a station on two frequencies simultaneously, but
here it's almost always the case that they are 120 Hz apart, with the
spurious one between 20 and 30 dB down from the other...usually a hum
sideband caused by a ground loop at the transmitting station. I like to run
Argo captures of the band simultaneously with WSPR so I can go back and look
for signs of hum and intermod products when odd decodes turn up.
