While checking signals from 1600-1700 UTC again, today, ran across a
real strange one.
On 13560 Khz there was a very strong carrier, S9+20db with a mid-
range, steady audio modulation. Also a faint 'tick-tick' in the
background.Sort of sounded like a recording device. Signal still heard
at 1842 UTC. Any ideas ?? Local artifact (doubtful) A new SW station,
testing ?? Could not find this frequency in any lists I checked,
including EIBI, etc.
Signal may still be on now (1900 UTC) so give a listen and see if you
can hear it. Thanks, and good listening from SW4ever...


13.56 MHz +/- 7.0 kHz is an Industrial/Scientific/Medical band.
(47 CFR Part 18 in the US).

Part 18 has the neatest line I've found so far in the FCC
regulations in paragraph 18.305: "ISM Equipment operating on
a frequency specified in (paragraph) 18.301 is allowed
unlimited radiated energy in the band specified by the
frequency."
