The question kind of is: Is it really supposed to be 60kHz and slightly 
off frequency? Or is it deliberately at that frequency because it's a 
multiple/submultimple of something useful?

59.94 * 1000.87... is it a horizontal line/clock frequency in a display 
of some sort?

It's also 3.579545MHz/59.66664 (i.e. pretty close to color burst divided 
by 60)

Here on Time-Nuts, though, we know that it is ancient aliens who have 
landed on top of a tall tepui in Venezuela near Angel Falls to help 
Nikola Tesla in his secret lair.  Or maybe it's the Sedona hum?

The real question is what is this strange signal's ADEV? Is it "really, 
really accurate"?
