Very interesting signal indeed. I watched it on my scope until it 
disappeared right on the dot of 1:00 AM CST.

Just went off of as if someone flicked a switch. Over three hours it 
slowly drifted up and then down in frequency several megahertz from 
what seems to be the center at 229.560.

It recently came back on again at 10:00 CDT AM  on 229.5465 MHz and 
is drifting slowly up the band again.
