Title: New 6870.05 Mt. Whitney, Calif. area dasher beacon
Post by: vlfradio on July 22, 2014, 0118 UTC

A new 6870.05 (with maybe 50 Hz drift) is dashing away 24/7 near Mt. Whitney, CA. 400 mW output. Antenna in Pine trees.  2 second long (approx.) dashes at 50% duty cycle keying on/off.

I checked my overnight SDR recording, and didn't observe the beacon. But propagation conditions have not been great here.
