It is probably some sort of a harmonic of a beacon that has been reported on 
320 and 325 khz. The offset of this beacon has been reported at either 398 or 
400 hz above and below center frequency. It supposedly belongs to Southern 
Avionics and the location is Beaumont Texas.

When I see the letters "SAC," I think of "Strategic Air Command." Doubt 
there's any connection but just wanted to bring that up.
