Topband: Steady Carrier on 80 CW

[Herb Schoenbohm]

 From the Virgin Islands they are 59+ on my NW Beverage and weak on my 
North and West Beverage.  I know that is probably not much help but I 
send the information along for what its worth.  Like Merv said the 
strongest is 3501.6.  I am listening to a NA pile up on 3525.5 calling 
5J0R and the carrier is equal or better than most of the callers.  I 
would thus assume that these signals are produced by substantial power 
and good antennas and not some flea powered sea buoy floating around in 
the Gulf.
