Title: Unknown dasher, 4102.8
Post by: Token on January 29, 2010, 0149 UTC

Hiya all,

While surfing the beacons this evening at around 0120 UTC I saw something I have not noticed before...I think.  Just above the W wind beacon I see a dasher.  30 dashes per minute and dashes are one second long, so dead time is also one seond long.  Center freq looked pretty stable and at 4102.8 kHz, about 450 Hz above the W wind beacon.

At first signal was pretty weak, but did come up a bit before fading again, I grabbed the attached images at about the peak.  Right now I can just tell it is in there for some of the dashes, not hearing all of them.

Anyone else hearing this?

T!

looking for the Dasher on 4102.8 nothing here on that freq but
am copying the wind beacon "W" on 4102.3khz with one dit. signal in rather strong
here, very surprising.

I have it again at 1635 UTC on Jan 31, 2010.  Very weak but clear.  Sounds very stable, no sag, no clicks, pure tone.  Frequency still 4102.8 kHz.

So it looks like there is a group now at 4102 kHz.  The W wind beacon at 4102.35, this dahser at 4102.8, and the night time only O beacon at 4103.8.
