Title: HIKER
Post by: HQ180 on July 13, 2025, 1451 UTC

Hiker on 7999.8 KC  1440 UTC  about dit per second.
If I remember it used to send a slow dash also.   When I saw Marks comment on the Hexie I thought I might
see if Hiker still exist.

Copying a cw signal on 6780 kc right now @ 12-7-25 0054 utc. 10 over s9. Long dash followed by three short dits. Is this a Hiker type signal? Or is this some sort of time signal station? Looks to be in the ISM band??

Thanks,

Just barely hearing Hiker at this time, 1820 utc S-1 with QSB.  Prop solar flare maybe.
