Title: New TweenFER beacon on 6776.26kHz
Post by: old sparks on November 25, 2025, 1723 UTC

W9BRD reported yesterday reception of a new CW beacon on 6776.26kHz.  It's s3 to s7 at my QTH in E-ON FN25 and louder than ODX or KAH.  I can also copy it on the K3FEF websdr.  It starts on H+00 and H+30 give or take 25 seconds...

XM XM CT CT CT MESSAGE 488, TEMP 9, BATTERY 12.2 ARMED PER 29, TEMP1 6.9, TEMP 2 5.6, TEMP3 5.8 UP TIME 278.4 HRS, 10.30 DE XM SK

I haven't heard someone send CT to start a message in a few decades.  Maybe a retired sparky?

Interesting! I hope someone provides a decoder ring for the telemetry readouts. I'm guessing Temps are in Celsius.
