Seems that I saw something a while back about some fishing beacons on the
low end of 80m ( or maybe 160m -but I think it was 80m)

Both carriers peak on my 150 degree Beverage as well.  So either
the source is far away from me and Tim or my direction finding is
lousy.

The carriers vary in strength in a pattern that does not seem like
QSB.  The strength varies by about 15 db over about 30 seconds,
watching the P3 and timing by counting (meaning very rough).
