Title: November DX-pedition
Post by: Teotwaki on November 24, 2014, 2302 UTC

I just came back from the Hunter Mountain area of Death Valley and I recorded a bunch of audio that I'll post over on YouTube. The most interesting catches were:

The 4079.6 "TMP" beacon is still on the air but very very weak. The 4102.3 "W" wind beacon sounds as if it is sick, possibly a bad power supply. (?)

Hey, when were you there?  I was just over the hill in Saline this past weekend.

T!

On my last two trips I took short videos when my KX3 was tuned into the beacons. I slapped some of the videos together so that others might know what to listen for with these particular beacons

2097 KHz letter "A"
4079.6 KHZ "TMP" temperature beacon
4096.24 KHz "Hexie" Beacon
4097.25 KHz "Inyo Whooper" Beacon
4102.3 KHz "W- Windy" beacon with wind data, no "W"
6626.3 KHz "Rainy" Beacon
6700.5 KHz "Hexie 2K" Beacon

All were received on my Elecraft KX3 while camping in two locations in the California desert.
