I often check all the W1AW frequencies and have heard them sending code practice and bulletins from 160 through 10 meters many times on every band. I have all their frequencies programmed in to my QSY er so I can go right down the list, when they are on the air, and I have each one programmed to the exact same tone for each channel. Today, in the middle of the afternoon, they were transmitting. I could barely hear them on their 40 frequency, there was a dead carrier on 20, and I copied them at the same time on 17 meters but too faint on 15 and nothing on 10. I checked off and on over an hour and the 20 meter signal was still a solid carrier and now code. I thought somebody had zero beat their frequency but that wasn't it. After awhile, I realized W1AW was transmitting the solid carrier. Never heard that happen before. They used to run 4 dash 1000 individual amps for each bands but I'm sure that's not what they are using now. I hope it's a heavy duty tube, haha.
