[Lowfer] TAG decoded in NE IL

[Garry]

It's been awhile since obtaining successful Wolf-10 decodes of lowfer 
TAG here. Tried a number of times and best result was locking onto the 
frequency but no message decoded. Last night the message came through 
several times before moving on to monitor other signals:

calibration to GPS-referenced signal at 185.8000 kHz

Correct decodes didn't come quickly. Suspect that's because of a local 
spurious carrier just 2 Hz above TAG's frequency. Didn't use to have 
that so hope it can be tracked down and eliminated.
