Jim,
This will be a bugger I think. If... its
coming from the airport, they likely won't
let me go snooping around, not with
today's tightened security. I'll have to
take the back-up K3 out and see what I can
find but DFing these relatively faint sigs
on 80 & 160 will be a bugger.
Be easier if they showed up on all the
other bands, a DFing antenna would sure
help.
I see your interference and this does have
a whistling/wavering sound to them, they
don't drift but sometimes it almost sounds
like they're heterodyning.
What was it you found to be the source?
73,
Gary
