Title: ~4530 kHz beacon? 4/4/2014 CW
Post by: tybrad on April 04, 2014, 2336 UTC

I am hearing now (23:34 UTC) some sort of repetitive beacon (?) on 4530 kHz (+ or - : I'm on a DX160).  I am on CW and the repetition is periodic 'swoosh' every second, with high consistency.  Any ideas?

The repeating "swoosh" in CW mode on that frequency is CODAR, a specialized form of radar used to study ocean waves and currents.  Since it is not a beacon I am moving this thread to the "Other" category forum.
