The carrier is just audible here at 8:50 am local time near San 
Diego, just above my abysmally high S7 noise floor (in the 250 Hz 
filter).  It was much stronger on Saturday night during the Stew, 
making copy of stations very near 1810 difficult.  However, even then 
I couldn't detect any modulation on it.
