10237.74Mhz "Common and Precious"

[Zazzle]

Hi there,

Heard in Enschede (NL, Europe) on 10237.74Mhz.
It sends a longer text, including its name "common and precious". The locator says it's located in Germany and that it outputs 1W.

Kind regards,

I have weak copy of this beacon here in the USA at 2155 UTC.

I also have copy on this possible beacon at 0019 UTC.  If there is a message, it is being sent at very slow speed.  Recording some audio of my reception.  Tuned in on 10237.1 kHz in CW mode and 500 Hz filter on my Drake R8B.

OMG *blank stare* this is so f'cking awesome. Honestly? I think nothing can ruin my day aymore today. Say, can you name me the area where you live (or provide me with the locator) so I can calculate the distance?

What about the signal strength and/or SNR? Were you able to read the message?

Kinda regards,

I'd love to have the recording. I DM you may mailaddy. Also, can you name me your location/locator?

About the slow speed CW. What's your opinion on the speed? I made it slow on purpose, so it can be read (i.e. on a waterfall diagram) even with a bad SNR. Do you deem it too slow?
