New Beacon?
« on: June 06, 2025, 0522 UTC »
06/06/25 0520 UTC 3845 LSB it's a real slow dit dah. Over and over. I'm in the Mojave Desert and it's a S9 here. With a massive noise level of S8 tonight.

Thanks for the report! Using CW mode I see it as 3844.4kHz sending the letter A in slow Morse. I can barely hear it at home but on half moon bay it's S6

Hearing the same thing right now on 7258.  Interesting!

Maybe it's not the letter A but instead is two letters,  E T   ;)
