Another drifting source that slowly drifts across 80 meters and repeats turns out to be a "Solar Boy"
one of the cheap garden ":Little Boy" with LED lights at night . For several days I thought it was my
active vertical amp oscillating -then went snooping with my Icom R10 rx and lo and behold it was
the "Solar Boy" sitting about 5 feet from my active vertical.
