I hear a continuous string of “A” in CW against a carrier that increases in

<p class=MsoNormal>About 3 or 4 days ago, WA4SZE started operating a non-stop
24-hour beacon on 10.149.100 MHz. This seems to be a stepped-power
beacon similar to the NCDF/IARU propagation beacons on the higher frequencies
This signal, originating from Manchester TN, is now disrupting the
10.149.200/.400 FSK APRS channel over a large part of North America.<br>
<br>
Here on the west coast, this signal is peaking at S7-S8 for many hours each
day, triggering the AGC on my 30M APRS igate receiver, rendering most APRS
signal un-receivable. Being only 100 Hz below the lower of the two
tones for APRS FSK, there is no practical way to notch this signal out of
the receiver IF passband without damaging the FSK signal.<br>
