[TenTec] Skywave BPL?

Guys,

Yesterday and today I fired up one of my boatanchor, general coverage 
receivers, a Hammarlund SP600, and I am hearing a whole string of 
"modulated" carriers between about 22 and 27 mHz that could possibly be 
propagated skywave from one or more of the BPL sites.

Is anyone else hearing what I am hearing?

Would this information be of interest or of use to anyone in the FCC or the 
ARRL, etc?

I could get more quantitative about the frequency of each carrier with a bit 
more work.  An SP600 is not a frequency meter, but an R390 would be if one 
of you guys happens to have one.

Jim, W8KGI
