Topband: Spurious Signal on 1810.8

[John Kaufmann]

>From eastern MA (FN42gk) the signal is very strong in the daytime and nighttime.  This appears to indicate that the source is within groundwave distance of me.  I tried getting a direction fix this evening with my RX vertical array that can switch in 8 directions.  However, I see very little signal change with direction, which tends to indicate the propagation, at least after dark, is very high angle.  There may be a very slight peak to the southwest or west, but I can't be sure because the differences are so small.  I'll try getting a daytime fix, maybe tomorrow morning after sunrise, when the propagation should become predominantly groundwave and a direction fix should be more reliable.
