21:44 UTC

Weak with some fading but otherwise decent signal of "Hexy 2K" on 6700.5 KHz 
Weak but readable "Rainy" on 6626.3 KHz

Title: Re: Afternoon Beacons
Post by: Teotwaki on December 07, 2014, 2112 UTC

6700.5 Hexie 2K coming in well

6626.3 Rainy coming in well

Using the KX3/PX3 today

Title: Re: Afternoon Beacons

I've go reception of Hexie on 4096.24 weak but with minimal fades

Title: Re: Afternoon Beacons
Post by: Teotwaki on January 10, 2015, 2123 UTC

A casual spin of the dial netted me just one beacon at this time

Hexie 2K on 6700.5

Title: Re: Afternoon Beacons
Post by: Teotwaki on March 07, 2015, 0114 UTC

I left work a little early today and took a spin of the dial and first thing I heard was "Rocky" on 6626.280 KHz

Title: Re: Afternoon Beacons
Post by: Teotwaki on March 15, 2015, 0012 UTC

the 13 MHz beacon that that Token pointed out is still sounding great at 13,559.86

Have you heard the 3rd beacon mixed in with Rocky/Rainy?

I have not but I hope that I can catch it!

Title: Re: Afternoon Beacons
Post by: Teotwaki on March 20, 2015, 0018 UTC

I am pretty sure that I am hearing the 3rd beacon that Token alerted me to and it is distinctive. A fast dit that sounds as if it goes up in frequency a little and the PX3's display seems to show that. Maybe a 2 dit/sec rate?. Currently centered at 6626.420 KHz. Local time is 17:05 PST

Many of these beacons move around a bit in freq, so the relative frequencies of this trio can be different at different times.

Here is a spectrum shot of Rocky, Rainy, and the Unknown ditter.  At the time of this image Rocky was centered on 6626.7, Rainy on 6626.4, and the Unknown at 6626.2.

(http://www.pbase.com/token/image/159489869/original.jpg)

I think this unknown has been there a while, just not reported.  I would have to look at old SDR recordings to try and come up with a time frame, unfortunately Rocky / Rainy is one I tune to often, but almost never record.

After a little while I did recognize the crappy frequency stability of a lot of the pirate beacons. I've been inconsistent about reporting it here as I was more about just logging that it could be heard in my location at certain times of day. Now that I have the PX3 display it does not matter what mode the radio is in as I can rapidly spot signals without having to tune around. My monitoring location is urban-noisy so it takes days with great propagation to hear a lot of these.

2143 and Rocky is gone, all that remains here is Rainy and the Unknown.

7039.350 KHz

Right this moment I can actually hear what sounds like T but it is on 7039.350 KHz which seems far off frequency for the typical Russian beacon. Signal strength is 10 dB or so above the noise floor with periodic quick fading or interruptions in the signal. Also the time of day is wrong for receiving Russian beacons here. So maybe it is a hobbyist?

4095.650 KHz  Desert Whooper. The whoops are easy to pick out but it is pretty weak. Telemetry is hard to read
4102.840 KHz  Windy. Heard some dits and had to use an SDR to see if Windy was even operating. (it was)

I was just viewing an SDR and the 4 MHz band is so well populated once again: DW, McGreevy's resurrected beacon, L, the fast ditter and Windy all whispering into the ether at the same time. Very cool!

I wish 2097 "A" was back too but maybe something new will come alive there some day?
