Gary mentioned it to me too and I have been listening with an SDR and
Icom R-7000 connected to a discone (vertically polarized, omni) from
here in Mahtomedi (EN35mb) and I do not see or hear the signal with
that equipment.

Also listening with FT-736, preamp and 2m yagi at 40', pointed straight
south and do not hear it.  Noise floor is below S1 on this gear.

> Hello Twin Cities...W0GHZ and I are hearing a very strong intermittent signal on 144.220.  Its fairly broad, a few KHz wide, and doesn't seem to have any kind of modulation to it.  Its intermittent and when it starts it has a "beep" like a repeater.  For me located in east Bloomington it peaks straight south of me at S9+ 20 without the preamp.   Can others listen for it and let me know on what bearing it peaks?...73, JonW0ZQ
