A 4096 dasher and W 1145 UTC 19 Dec 2013
« on: December 19, 2013, 1150 UTC »
Finally hearing something on 4 MHz, after several weeks of trying. I'm surprised how poor receiving conditions on 4 MHz have been here.

I have one of the 4096 beacons, I am not sure which one, as it is extremely weak, and only fades in for a dash or two at a time.

I also have what sounds like W on 4102, also quite weak. I can pick out the W, not hearing any dits after it for the wind speed. Perhaps it is not very windy in W land.

I've been listening there as well :)

Noise level is dead quiet, just no DX other then the odd dash every 45 mins or so.

Peace!
