1. Is this list still active? Seems like ages since I've seen any
activity. Wonder if foothill.net has it blocked?
2. I have a strange noise on 80. It consists of what appears on the P3
to be two slightly fuzzy carriers about 3 kHz apart, about S5-6.
Sometimes that's all there is, but much of the time, the signal slides
back and forth between them forming a rope-like pattern. The pattern is
repeated about 25 kHz lower, and both are synchronized. The lower pair
is centered on 3518, the upper pair on 3542.
I've done all the usual [K3 on battery/main breaker off], DFing some,
and I've searched down to 100 kHz and don't find it. My P3 is in fixed
tune mode so the noise display remains constant on the screen as I tune
across it. Then, I noticed that when I tune the K3, it disturbs the
steady back and forth, creating a much finer rope-like pattern. It is
totally repeatable, and happens on both the lower and upper signals.
Tuning either direction does the same thing. When I stop tuning the Big
Knob, it reverts to the slow back and forth about once per second.
Wondering if there's something amiss in my K3. It works normally in all
other respects, and these signals do not appear anywhere else up to 29.5
MHz.
