Hey, gang, this series had only a marginal connection to rec.ham-radio
in the first place (because the transmission was heard via a rebroadcast
by the Goddard Amateur Radio Club) and has now gotten totally away from
that aspect. All further followups to more appropriate newsgroups, please.

BTW...

The original posting said that the transmission had been monitored 
from the above-mentioned GARC rebroadcast, which was on 147.45 MHz in the
amateur radio 2-meter band, not on a commercial band. The transmissions
are in FM, so although it's theoretically possible for someone to capture
the frequency away from GARC, a more likely result of putting another
transmitter on that frequency would be a collision of the signals such
that neither transmission would be intelligible. So I doubt that it was
a spoofed signal on top of the real one.
