Good eyeball there Art. I have seen some thing like this happen two or three
times with a station in Mexico. All of a sudden the bandscope on my Icom Pro 2
would just come alive with signals. What an awesome display. After a little bit
of investigation work I found the station causing the problem. I forget the
call but do remember it was a station in Mexico. Every time I have witnessed it
the problem did not last long. Usually under a minute or two at the most. So I
have always thought that it might have been a button that got accidentally
pushed or the station just came on the air and forget to change a setting. They
were always quick to fix the problem and I have wondered if some type of
station monitor on their end was tossing out clues. Either way, the operator of
the station was alert and knew what they were doing as the problem was quickly
taken care of.

A strange thing happened in the Tara Grid Dip contest. I was tuning down in
frequency when I came across a signal that was 350 Hz shift. I set my shift to
350 Hz and could copy him fine. Later I came across a shift that was 240 Hz
and the signal was reversed. A little further down the band I found 6F75A
transmitting with a normal signal calling CQ. I opened up my bandwidth and
could see 3 pairs of RTTY tones with 3 different shift. You could see all 3
signals in sync as 6F75A transmitted. Anyone ever see anything like this
before?
