At 0510 EDT, I just heard the ID for WAZS. Summerville, SC is more than 5
blocks from my house in Tennessee. The new rocket 980 does a very good job
at getting out with only 131 watts!

I'm hearing what sounds like morse code on 1220 khz. The noise floor and signal
are pretty close and I haven't been able to decipher it as of yet. The tone is
around 1khz and is consistant with no lengthy breaks. Direction is primarily
NW/SE. I can hear it through semi-local KPJC in

TPs were very poor when I got up at 1230 UT with carriers on 594, 693, 747,
774 972 and 1566 and no audio. That changed around 1255 when the band started
to come alive with many more carriers and 4 with audio.

This is very interesting as about 2 years ago I heard Morse Code on 1220 for 2
days and I never did find out who or what it was. It was also just above the
noise level and the speed was very slow. From here the direction was N/S.
Could this be one of the same?

A bit of a disappointment except for the fine signal from 639. Had
checked the radio briefly at 1120UT, and maybe should have stuck
around. 972 was at the best audio level I've heard them in a long
time, and the various big guns were pretty good.In comparison,
there wasn't much of a

Sounds to me that you're hearing a lw beacon, either a close enough one
that may be strong enough to produce some audible mixing products or
that it has gone out of tune and is producing higher levels of harmonics
that it should. Divide 1220 by 3,4,5 or 6 and check that frequency for

the radio in my 96 Ford Bronco and did not happen on the radio in my 85

Hello Charles and Willis,Right,the call of the station
on 980 is WAZS and the night time pwr is 131 watts.I
don't know if all receivers get RF gain by touching an
antenna terminal but it does work if there is a loop
