OR Finally!
« on: September 08, 2009, 1026 UTC »
After several years of trying, I'm finally hearing OR. 8211.99 at 1020z. Faint, but it is there. I even checked for it on the waterfall to make sure I wasn't hearing things.

I know Chuck just up the road from me in Harrisburg often reports OR, but for some reason I've never been able to hear it until now.

Hearing Echo as usual with a big signal, 10236.94.

These milliwatt beacons are very interesting indeed....one always wonders why
certain beacon remain illusive to certain listeners...

F remains very illusive for me...I caught it last night for only 3 ids in a row...

Congrats...I sent a link to OR operator relative to your post.
