Hi there,
Heard in Enschede (NL, Europe) on 10237.74Mhz.
It sends a longer text, including its name "common and precious". The locator says it's located in Germany and that it outputs 1W.
Kind regards,

I have weak copy of this beacon here in the USA at 2155 UTC.

I also have copy on this possible beacon at 0019 UTC. If there is a message, it is being sent at very slow speed. Recording some audio of my reception. Tuned in on 10237.1 kHz in CW mode and 500 Hz filter on my Drake R8B.

Hi there Chris,

OMG *blank stare* this is so f'cking awesome. Honestly? I think nothing can ruin my day aymore today. Say, can you name me the area where you live (or provide me with the locator) so I can calculate the distance?
What about the signal strength and/or SNR? Were you able to read the message?
Kinda regards,

I'd love to have the recording. I DM you may mailaddy. Also, can you name me your location/locator?
About the slow speed CW. What's your opinion on the speed? I made it slow on purpose, so it can be read (i.e. on a waterfall diagram) even with a bad SNR. Do you deem it too slow?
Kind regards,
