I know this is the TopBand reflector - but there has been a carrier on
3501.4 for the past few days - that needs some DF work.
It peaks at 150 degrees from K3LR so South South East. It is S9 this evening
Any ideas on what it is and where it is coming from?

There appears to be a second carrier coming from the same direction on
3503.1. It is not as strong as the one on 3501.4. So whatever is going on -
two steady carriers are on the low end of 80 CW.

Both carriers peak on my 150 degree
Seems that I saw something a while back about some fishing beacons on the
low end of 80m ( or maybe 160m -but I think it was 80m)

Well, that makes a lot more sense, Gary!! That would be down into the
Atlantic or Carribean or SA. I don't understand how Victor could think that
NC and SC are at 150 deg from him, if he's in New England??

BTW, Gary - how are you measuring direction on 80m?

Now I understand!! Victor, K1LT is NOT on New England - he's in OH! So, I
guess 150 deg to NC or SC makes sense - although he could still be looking

just an old coot, and back in the old days, we could tell where someone
