yup Rick, it's there right now.... seems to be transmitting (don't seem 
to stop to receive) something 24/7. I can't really pinpoint a direction 
so maybe coming down from a Sat? But who would want to use a VHF hamband 
to transmit some sort of data. It's been going on for the last several 
months .... hopefully someone might have the software to decode it and 
see what it is all about. Obviously not ham so must be an intruder.... 
but why, who, what for, etc? Would be interesting if the west coast 
hears it too! If you find anything out let me know! 73's Cort K4WI
