According to the DM780 waterfall in Ham Radio Deluxe, they are off frequency a bit on 1559.93. This is causing a SAH on the frequency. I switched between USB and LSB on the Drake R8, but couldn't hear the USB component of their signal. Strange! 73, Chris Chris Knight (N0IJK) Fort Lupton,

Hi Joe, I usually tune below a major frequency by 50Hz in USB mode and watch the carrier show up on the scale at 500. If there are any carriers off frequency you can see them even if you can't hear them. Same with trans-oceanic splits. And, HRD is a free download. :) 73, Chris Chris Knight
