Utility / Re: Marine CW beacons/markers log.

« on: January 22, 2023, 0535 UTC »

Telecom Korea stations on marine CW look like they were decommissioned/terminated at the end of 2022?

None of the 22MHz, 17MHz, 16MHz or 12MHz services have been logged in recent weeks although propagation has been there with Japan and China noted on 22MHz, 16 & 12MHz CW.

The South Korean marine radio HF network started a revision of transmissions on HF CW during 2020/2021 with the withdrawl of the two 8MHz transmitters.

The next step was during 2021 with nearly all of the 24 hour beacon markers reduced to part time transmissions, 22.611.5MHz was the first to have transmission restrictions in place.

Sadly, the end of yet another marine CW service on the HF bands?

22.611.5MHz CW has not been heard in recent weeks in either the "HLG" or "HLF" formats.

Propagation has been there as three of the Japan Fisheries stations on 22MHz have been logged, also Japanese CB radio on 27.005MHz AM has been in also, plus the Chinese beacons on 16MHz have been audible also.

Usual times for 22.611.5MHz are between 2300-0100hrs UTC with transmissions on the hour, anyone hearing this station please post...thanks!

You are most welcome Jim, I find the old FT1000D the best CW receiver, and an assortment of wires usually yields some good results.

It appears that 16.880MHz is a shared frequency between "de XSG" and "XSQ" starting back in July 2022.

A similar situation also exists with Telecom Korea station on 22.611.5MHz which alternates between "HLG" and "HLF" for reasons unknown.

16.880.0MHz "XSQ" was noted to day reverting back to the July 2022 call of "de XSG" at 0620z with a 539 report.

Updating of the list has commenced from today.

22.611.5MHz  was back as "HLG" today at 0005z instead of the usual "HLF" callsign.

Thank you, it's actually around 500 feet long as I added some to it a few months back. Works well on the MW & NDB band but tends to drag in too much noise.

For general HF loggings I tend to switch from different antenna's too.
