BEACONS HEARD TONIGHT

[chucks]

Hi all, finally got back in the saddle again for  a change.
High static levels tonight.
5157.60    blinky (dasher)  good signal here
10236.90  dasher    very strong tonight
10240.0   something in there but just can't make it out.
8003.90   dasher  pike Jr.  only western beacon that I can hear tonight.

the new Canadian beacon not heard here, have a very strong usb signal on 8260khz repeating the same thing over and over (gotta be a machine).
not able to hear much of anything to the west (beacon wise) for sometime. Pike jr is the only one.
not even hearing the okie's tonight. but hearing some western stations on 30 meter psk with good signals.

oh well at least I can blame this on sunspots.

8260 is a marine frequency, but after a month of monitoring, nothing heard up here.

What's it saying?

Peace!

Good to hear that Echo and Blinky are doing well...
the 10240 beeper is about 50 beeps/min that is how the operator describs it...

Echo is into Colorado weak there weak tonight...at 0300Utc

 on the 8260 freq, I will have to make a recording because the only work I understand is "over" at the end and it has a very heavy accent.
it's now 2349z 07/07/09 and the freq is quiet right now so I will listen on 61 to see if I can hear the beacon.
