If you state the freq. along with the number of
dashes per min ...I could pin point your beacon...

Sounds like what your hearing is Blinky and remote
beacon in North Central Flordia...

I hear Blinky in the fall and winter here in Colorado...
Thanks for your report.

I read the comments on "Blinky", but will still time the dashes and make note here.
Glad to do so as I get my feet wet in time for better winter conditions here in Florida!!
I can't wait for subdued QRN levels!!!
Thanks  ;)

One of my favorite 60 meters beacons ...

I timed this beacon last night and found 45-46 dashes per minute.
From the reports of others this must be "Blinky"
"Blinky" was only moderately strong last night but heard Pike 78
so skip was a bit longer me thinks!!

Cheers all!
