Hey Tesla,

A bit confused here.You say you are copying on 7.039.4 Kc. NO such spur here AT QTH.  I can only copy the primary on 6.998.4. NOTHING showing up here WITHIN 40 M.

Thoughts ? Spurs noted at 13.997.5 (at  slightly HIGHER power than 6.998-try 13.997 frq as well !)), 27.993.4 (WAY down in power). No other spurs  found on HF. Your state ?

K

Krystallo,

He's hearing a different beacon, not a report of yours.

Thought so.

BTW, are you able to give a state or rough QTH ?

On 7039.4KHz  I normally hear the Russian "M" beacon. In my last catch this week it was weak and I was unsure if it was malfunctioning or was a letter "T".  I am thinking that maybe something broke or the Russians are playing games and changed the M to a T. Maybe you've made a very interesting discovery!

It is 18:25 PST

T is ruunning from 10 - 15 dB over the noise then fading out for ten seconds. I think this is my first time logging it

At 06:30 T was pretty strong but has weakened quite a bit by 07:00 PST. It is also low in frequency at 7039.260 KHz so it is likely a hobbyist beacon

Tesla,

do you have any history or background info on T?

Chris S. is wondering if it is a hobby beacon or otherwise.
