Dasher 8000 CW 1142 UTC 21 Dec 2015
« on: December 21, 2015, 1146 UTC »
While looking for the new beacon, I rediscovered this old one.  I've logged this a few times before, it sends a dash, and has a very long period about 40 or 50 seconds (which seems to vary). Sometimes the dash sounds more like a CW "A", or even an "AE", but today it sounds just like a dash.

A fairly strong signal this morning.

Disregard, thought I had this, but it must be the other one reported at 8001.6
