4096 6 dots and a Dash?
« on: May 03, 2009, 0252 UTC »
Been running thru the memories this evening and while logging Hexie and Kelsie on 4096.25 and 4096.96 (approx) I noticed another dasher down lower on what I measured as 4095.830 and wondered if it was the six dots and dash beacon, location unknown.  All I was hearing so far is the long dash.  A couple of times I imagined with help from ESP that there might be some dots in there, but I wont claim to of heard them yet!  The wind is blowing purty good tonight on 4102.3!  OK, MO, death valley ditter and the TMP have all been in along with Rainy, Hexy2k, SSSSSSS on 8000 and OR copied earlier!

later daze from the new break away state of Northern Ut (NUT)

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one that happens too.

Sometimes I swear I hear dots in there.... but can never "hear" it more than once or twice to actually verify.

There is a coastal RATT station on 4105 that comes in once in a while I always blame it on.

Peace!

You should make sure it isn't interference since a lot of computer
electronics have 4096khz clocks in them to devide down to 1khz.
I know the router in our house puts out ticking noises at 4096.

What are there brands?

I must have 200 pieces of various electronic appliances parted out here and not a one of them have a 4096 clock?

From WIKI page on crystal oscillators..
4.096000 Allows binary division to 1 kHz (212 × 1 kHz)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator

It is a popular frequency used in modems and sometimes routers. I know I have a few
that I parted from circuit boards in the popular 4 pin packages used in computer electronics.
Also other frequencies used in computer electronics are known to devide down to 4096.
That wiki page has some interesting info on it :)
