A quick spin around the beacons, October 8, 2010

[Token]

Morning all,

Took a quick spin around the beacons this morning, actually the first time I have sat down in front of a radio in a while.  October 8, 2010.

3449.81 kHz, 1131 UTC, "OK", very weak, but in there
4062.51 kHz, 1136 UTC, "TR", strong and drifty as ever
4079.60 kHz, 1138 UTC, "TMP" sending a temp of 38 degrees
4088.86 kHz, 1140 UTC, Dasher, peaking at over S7
4096.26 kHz, 1142 UTC, Hexie, peaking at over S9
4096.61 kHz, 1143 UTC, Kelsie, peaking at 10 over S9
4097.77 kHz, 1145 UTC, lower half of Mohave Desert Dual Dasher, S9
4102.30 kHz, 1147 UTC, "W" wind beacon, many dits, and slight sag on dashes
4102.77 kHz, 1148 UTC, upper half of Mohave Desert Dual Dasher, S8

I checked for a bunch others, but this was all I heard at the time.  CHecked for "O" on 4103.8, hammered by multiple comm stations in Chinese on 4104 AM.  Checked for Blinky on 5156, hammered by Chinese OTHR.  Checked for Sally on 5205, hammered by Chinese OTHR. Checked for OR on 8211, hammered by Chinese OTHR.  See a trend here?

Everything else I checked for were clear freqs, but did not hear the beacons.  Was before sunrise for several beacons though, so did not expect a few of the daytime only ones.

T!
