It seem to me that we need to find this interferer if for no other reason than 
it is there.. you know... "In search of Tecnical excellence" 

I will try to plot the location  If the people with directional antennas would 
send me: 

1. their readiings of the heading. 

2. their heading prefer lat/lon but full grid square will probably work 
sufficiently 

3. if you know the 3db beam width of your antenna it would help greatly 

4. I dont particularly care bout signal strength 

Would appreciate reports from anyone rotatable antennas especially but a 
Beverage will work but again I would like to have 3db beam width .. or length 
of your beverage (I will calculate Beam width) 

In as much as the FCCs Laural monitoring station is in my back yard and they 
have a line array(phased array) in their lower 40 they may be able to get 
better bearings. Finally.. I do not believe it is in eastern PA it is much 
weaker on my Beverage (35 deg) than my Inverted L. My best guess is that it is 
off/on the coast of MD or VA... the bearings people have taken so far tend to 
indicate this. 

Anecdotal information like s5 here while interesting will not help me isolate 
the problem. 

Ohh by the way keep these headings off list please I will post a composit of 
the info a week or so after all the readings are done.. or put them on my web 
site and in a link to the TB reflector.. for brevity.
