I noticed the predicted broadcast on 4034KHz. This is about the second 
harmonic of that. I did hear the 4034 broadcast when I tuned down there. It 
was also very weak, but seemed to be roughly the same.

Both were weak and tough to pull out. Seemed to be CW instead of MCW, but I 
couldn't hear anything but noise in AM mode. Took the narrow CW filters to 
pull anything out. But tuning around, I didn't find evidence of a carrier at 
either frequency.

Also, the frequencies didn't seem to be exactly "double". The 4034 was pretty 
close to 4034 and the 8067 was pretty close to 8067. I might be off by 100Hz 
or so, but from what I can tell one really isn't "twice" the frequency of the 
other.

Thoughts?

------------------------

This TX doesnt use the m8a format 
as from the 4034 kHz MCW sked you mention.

this has been noted here several times before but 
had been too weak for copy.
