« on: June 14, 2024, 1159 UTC »
I'm hearing the new 44m beacon from Canada - VA3KAH  / B on 6783.4 kHz with an occasional very good signal, 1155 UTC on 14 June 2024.

I am also hearing reliable ODX on 6785.7 kHz.

Tuned to 6783.3 just in time to heard VA3KAH for several cycles of transmission at 11:10 z  before it quickly faded into the noise. My first 6 Mhz beacon log. Will give another listen at 11:00 z tomorrow

14:45 UTC 18 JUN 2024 - Very faint signal heard on 6783.3 kHz. To weak to decode the Morse ID.
