For the past couple of days, I have noticed a continuous, loud, carrier on 52.525 MHz. There is some audio on the signal, but carrier frequency is?stable. I think that the station is vertically polarized. On a scope, the signal appears to be about 3 KHz wide with 3 distinct peaks. I do have a jpeg of the scope display.

>From the middle of Thousand Oaks, CA ( grid DM04ne), it appears to peak on a heading of about 120 or 300 degrees. 

The signal exhibits flutter when an aircraft flies in the vicinity of my home station.

When driving my mobile?around town,?the signal?exhibits typical mobile flutter.

I do not think that the signal source is in Thousand Oaks.

Please listen for the signal and post your results and/or send to me at N6ZE at arrl.net

52.525 MHz FM is the 6 Meter FM calling frequency and should be left clear!
