Title: Windy and A and even ZN
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on January 29, 2019, 1222 UTC
Fair to good signals from the usual suspects this morning in the 1100-1220 UTC time period. At 1220 A is fading out but Windy is doing pretty well.

No sign of ZN or anyone else.

I spoke too soon! ZN noted at 1225 UTC, but way down on 4096.9. At first I thought this was the Marin Ditter, but I saw Z and N in the waterfall and could hear the characters.  Perhaps this is why I have not received ZN recently, I was looking in the wrong place, if it has drifted down this low.

All three heard again around 1155 UTC 30 Jan 2019. The strongest signal from A on 2097 in a while.

A and Windy heard circa 1045 UTC 4 Feb 2019, both with good signals.

I have been trying for the 2008 dasher, as well as the 4096 beacons, without luck. I don't expect to hear them, but will keep trying  :P

The 4096 beacons used to come in until a few years ago when they stopped, I understand their power level was reduced.

I have been hearing ZN recently on about 4095.0  both in the evenings and in the morning the last few days.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep a look out for it down there.

Sure enough, ZN heard with a very weak signal around 4095.2 kHz at 1219 UTC.
