I hear a beacon on 1940 kc pretty regularly. It seems to transmit lat
and long (I think). The lat/long works out to somewhere in the Gulf of
Mexico, if that is really what that is. Speculation has it that it may
be an oil rig. Can anyone shed any light on this one?
BTW, Merry Christmas to all on Topband!
