OLD 4094 Beacon the mysterious beacon
« on: April 07, 2026, 1931 UTC »
Last night around 1430 utc I caught the dasher 0n 4094 kc not strong but non the less Q3 copy on a number of long fade ups.  To my count it send out a dash every 2 sec.  Over the past year I have heard the letter F sent and the Letter D sent from time to time hardly ever to be heard again and no one ever mentioned it on HFU.
But last night the dash rate etc. seemed to match up with TOKENS youtube video of the mysterious 4094 beacon.   Perhaps it is back, sure would be nice to hear a night time beacon up near the DW beacon.

Found 4094 beacon at 1230 utc and then dialed up to 4109.40 using a 500 hz filter and heard it also.

Beacons appearing on or around 4094 have been coming and going for 13 or more years. If they last more than a few weeks they'll be mentioned in the list.
