[SADXA] Help identifying this RFI

[D Andersen]

 Hi Wes,   I am thinking that this should be hearable on your Car AM radio as you drive by the villen. For a very short range test use the radio at the lowest frequency ie 500KC.  For longer range use the same radio on the highest frequency, IE. 1600 KC.  Day time might be best since the skip will be weak.  Good luck!   DA
