Topband: Steady Carrier on 80 CW -BTW

[Charlie Cunningham]

Thanks for that link, Frank! Very enlightening and interesting!! It does
seem to fit with my speculation that those carriers might be from buoys!

I'm impressed with the directional resolution available to some folks on
this reflector!

This is an example of a fishnet buoy that operates from 1.6 to 4 MHz.

The good news is they're battery operated and will ultimately have to be
retrieved 
for battery replacement.

BTW, Gary, 

When Tim, K3LR, started this thread he also reported that the signals peaked

at around 150 deg, from Middlesex, PA, so that, combined with your due south

bearing, would also put the source out to sea! ( and not in NC or SC)
