[Scan-DC] 159.240

Sat Aug 18 07:22:15 EDT 2018

>From Arlington with a very high antenna, I'm copying a fairly weak ID hourly at about :09 or :10 after the hour, with the call sign WQRE749. That does come back to Culpeper County, which is 98 km to the SW.

http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=3471788

But there are other MD licensees on the same frequency. A list of everyone on 159.240 within 100 km of Arlington is here:

Couldn’t you just look up the licensee from the callsign being sent in CW? That would be an unambiguous determination of the source.

It is also the repeater output frequency for West Virginia's Department of Forestry in the south-eastern portion of the state which of course borders Virginia.  Given both area's mountainous terrain, it would be entirely possible you're receiving the identifier from one of those agency's distant towers.  Any chance of catching a PL or other tone code with it?  I realize many systems automate the CW ID's outside of the established PL's or tone codes used for voice transmissions.
