Here's an Argo challenge for you guys out west:

While tinkering in the shack this afternoon, I was watching some of the east
coast AM broadcast stations with Argo. Found another one with a fairly
unique "signature," WQEW on 1560 kHz in New York City. Here's a screen shot:

I would suggest an Argo 60 second screen, set to Slow.

This looks like a simple temperature control situation, possibly with an
on/off crystal oven. The period is about 22 minutes, and there's no
guarantee that it will stay the same 24/7. The center frequency is about 0.5
Hz high -- the screen calibration in that shot is pretty close.
