Title: Beacons heard in Louisville, KY this evening
Post by: charlie on September 17, 2009, 0157 UTC

I'm temporarily in Louisville, KY listening with the trusty ATS-909 and the reel antenna.
I heard these beacons tonight between 0040z and 0100z, around sunset local time:

11002 kHz     CO, easy copy with twangy keying and no message
  8003 kHz     Pike 78, a first for me, easy copy
  5157 kHz     Blinky, weak but there
  4077 kHz     MO, very weak, difficult copy

Tried for FL on 4011.8, but the MARS ragchewers up on 4013 were too loud.

Also tried for a ride on UFO, but it just wasn't there.

Good job Charlie...
There is no FL on 4011...

For beacons east of the Rockies check out
http://highfrequencybeaconsociety.bravehost.com

That web site is current with the east of the rockies

Glad that Pike 78 was making the trip as well as CO...

WW will be on later tonight.

Hmmmm......Was that a recent change? I thought I heard it in the last couple of weeks on 4011, but maybe not. I guess the hfunderground wiki page (http://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/High_Frequency_Beacons (http://www.hfunderground.com/wiki/High_Frequency_Beacons)) isn't up to date.

Good Job Charlie.  He meant 4111 KHZ has been off for about 1 1/2 years now.


Thanks Ben in FL
