Title: Is this Echo?
Post by: Seamus on September 23, 2009, 0230 UTC

Tuning around tonight, I heard Pike 78 and Blinky bleeping away, and OK doing a fair job of making it through some local interference.

I also heard what I believe to be Echo at 10.236.900:

My "cheat sheet" also shows a FL Dasher near the same frequency.  The nature of the signal - 1 pulse per second - may or may not be described as a "dasher", so I'm unsure as to whether or not this was Echo. 

Or are Echo (at 10.236.900) and the FL Dasher (10.236.700) actually the same beacon, but on my sheet with two different names and frequencies?

Seamus,  That is indeed echo.  The FL Dasher is that one.  Good catch.  I'm also hearing echo on the Global Tuner receivers in Pennsylvania at 0210 UTC.

Seamus, I meant to say, they are both the same beacon...
