"O" beacon 4103.8?
Token:
I ran across this tonight. Not sure if it is a pirate beacon or not. It has just enough drift down on the dash that I think iti probably is.
It is at 4103.800 and sending what sounds like the letter "O", three dashes over and over. It is so far down in my noise I can not tell if there is anything else to it or not. I left an RX on it for over an hour, but it never really came up any higher than in this picture.
In the headphones the three dashes were easier to hear than they seem in this picture.
Token:
I have modified the original image to point out the three dashes.
W4JBM:
I've added it to my list of frequencies to check. I'll let you know if I see anything out this way.

I'll keep an ear out for that one.
That band was pretty dead for me last night :(
Peace!
W4JBM:
Heard W this morning (4102.32kHz), but no sign of O. I did have some very weak parallel closely spaced carriers that faded in and out. I'd assume some kind of digital mode that was just too far away. I did hear a carrier fire up with some interruptions (not sure if it was keying or fading) on 4103.75 MHz at 1015z. It lasted about 15 seconds, was fairly strong, and then dropped. Listened for another five minutes or so and didn't hear anything again.
