[RFI] CARRIER ON 40-METERS

Correction to my last post - there are many SW broadcast
stations on 7.195 MHz with 50 kW and up TX power.  I
put the table in frequency rank order and looked at the
many stations on 7.195 MHZ.  An
unmodulated carrier for days on end seems inconsistent
with one of them.

If my reading of that table from the source
Joe linked is correct, the China transmitter
on 7.195 MHz has a TX power of 50 watts.
Seems unlikely to provide S9 + 10 dB signal
or larger in west central US......

I would rule out either of these two sources.  It is strong with slow
ionospheric fading indicating only one skip zone.  Certainly not
characteristic of Chinese or German signals in the middle of the afternoon
on 40-Meters.
