[Spooks] Morse Code Broadcast

[Martin VE3OAT]

Ruth and Zack,

I checked the ARRL Newsletter for any Amateur contest or other 
radiosporting event on Feb 6/7 but didn't find any.  But that doesn't 
mean it couldn't have been someone working a little DX, especially if 
propagation was good that night.  (I wasn't on the air then so don't 
know what conditions were like.)

 From another point of view, I see that Ashland is near the coast.  I 
wonder if there might be a commercial station in the Maritime Service 
that is on the right frequency and strong enough that it would cause 
an RF image in your receiver on 1630 kHz.  I know that many maritime 
mobile and fixed stations operate in the 2.0 to 3 MHz band, for example.
