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).
