This posting from Steve Whitt on the MWC circuit. Barry Steve Whitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Regarding a mystery test tone widely received on 1610 kHz Nov 29-30, the following post is from longtime DXer and former CBS Engineer Bob Foxworth, now living in Tampa, FL. The test tone moved from 1610 to 1020 kHz, noted by longtime DXer Ben Dangerfield near Philadelphia on 1022 EST Friday, Dec 1 - an hour before Bob Foxworth's post. It would appear that the US Gov't is preparing transmitters to broadcast info into Cuba at the time of Castro's death. -- "A posting on one of the BC lists within the hour states: 1610 was 'legit and approved.' 10 kW from an unspecified east coast location. Content 1 kHz tone, nothing else (no hidden data, etc). 1610 test is finished. Testing now on 1020, look tonight and Sat night (Dec 1-2). Then testing on 590 from Tue to Friday (Dec 5-8). Then, done. The purpose, authority or location was not given by the poster. I am sure more detail will be forthcoming. Some BC people are looking at Ft. Monmouth NJ (home of an Army communications command) as a possible site based on some DFing they did with FIM-41s. Finally some are speculating this is in preparation for the presumed coming demise of el maximo in order to have radio assets set to deploy." [Bob Foxworth, via Marc DeLorenzo, BADX]
