You have not really toldd us what you hear. Does it sound like voice or does it sound like data? More information needed.

I remember this as the SPEN frequency. Got it programmed in to see what pops up. I'm in Hudson County, NJ - will report back if I get any hits.

yea it was a radio that is staying keyed, it wavers as I drive and will drop out as I go into a hole and pop back up as i get on top of a hill. I think certain people are heaaring it as they keep keying up their radio on top of it, remember the old DTMF tones. dont hear it keyed all the time, mostly in the AM and stays keyd for a while. no pl or any fancy stuff like that I only have 4 crystals in the old radio.
