Title: Pike into Atlanta area
Post by: W4JBM on December 23, 2010, 1653 UTC

I'm copying a dasher that I assume is Pike on 8000.260 kHz on Dec. 23 at 16:40z. Weak with QSB, but clearly audible at times. Watching it on the audio spectrum analyzer and it's kind of funny--some dashes are fairly solid and others trace an almost perfect "S" shape as the frequency shifts a bit.

Trying to get the station put back into working order after being off the air for several months...

What's the period of the dash?  There are a couple beacons on 8Mhz.

Merry Christmas!

Looks like about 20 per second...

I'm guessing that's 20 per minute ... :-)  And if so,  that wasn't Pike I don't think , but instead a 4011 based beacon testing in the mid atlantic.
