Rouge beacon

[beaconman]

This morning at 1520Utc while up on the WIS. Global Tuner
I was hearing a very steady 20dash/min beacon...Freq. was 8.000kHz cw mode

Pike was heard at the same time on 80036 as well as TS both Colorado
beacons...

Perhaps we can get some more reports on this beacon and deduce what part
of the country it is in....

This is an interesting topic.

I noted a few weeks back, another signal below Blinky on 5157 and managed an Argo capture. I've listened for it many times since and have not seen it again. But it was both quite audible and visible on Argo.

It's certain that they come from somewhere... fun to speculate who/where/when/why.....

Pike has a buddy!

More like S has a buddy Pike doesn't hang around 8000 very long if the sun is out shortly after
the sun hits the panel Pike travels up to 8003.6 Khz

Sometimes i can figure out what part of the country A BEACON IS COMING FROM...
THERE IS  SLOW DASHER UP ON 4103 THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD, THE DESERT RATS DONT KNOW EITHER.

THERE IS  SLOW DASHER UP ON 4103 THAT I HAVE NOT HEARD, THE DESERT RATS DONT KNOW EITHER.

I heard something like that last night too ~1015UTC. I just thought Wind was malfunctioning

Peace

The slow dasher near 4103 you are talking about might be one I reported a couple months back, and I have an email from someone claiming to be the owner.  This is the same person who tried a few other freqs, including 5711.8, 8000.8, and a couple more I do not remember off the top of my head, I think there was something around 6700 and something around 12000.

If this is the 4103 you are talking about the actual freq is 4102.8, or it has been every time I have checked it.  One second dash and one second pause, it is supposedly going to have more later on.  Power is less than 100 mW into a wire dipole facing NE/SW.  Location is supposed to be just outside the western edge of Death Valley.

This beacon is between the "W" wind beacon on 4102.3 and the nightime only "O" beacon on 4104.18.  Here is a shot of all three coming in at my location at once;

Hi very later reply here. also had the dasher on 10237.95 here is central Pa very strong.
noise floor is s2 and signal was s5 so must be on this coast. I was even hearing on the
sony 2010 with the whip inside the house at 7 dots on the meter.
