Title: LGB CW Beacon 7999.0 KHz 21:25 UTC 01 JAN 2022
Post by: DYGradio on January 01, 2022, 2137 UTC

Went checking for "Q" and other 8 MHz area beacons and I have a very strong beacon repeating "LGB" on 7999.0 KHz. LGB is not on any coastal marker list I have and a search of HF Underground and the web in general doesn't yield any previous info at least that I could turn up. Any thoughts? Drift net beacon?  The short pause between IDs would be unusual for one of those. Or is this a new one...

nice catch!!

I was hearing a weak beacon on 4094.11 on KFS SE and it was sending three to four letters of which two sounded like "L" and "G"

The two beacon signals are not harmonically related but the choice of Morse letters is interesting.

I just checked LGB and it had a fair signal on the KFS Omni
