« on: March 30, 2017, 1223 UTC »I see ZN was heard...I got an e mail the other day saying there was a cluster of three beacons on 4070.3...this is possible and each is located in different places.
ZN is the lowest power one around 500 Mw but, ZT about 700Mw and GT 1.0 watts...
I can't confirm the accuracy of this e mail...but was told I could pass it on.

Thanks for sharing the logging! My last reception was on the afternoon of March 17 and had nothing for many weeks before that.
BTW, "Hexie" is on 4096.240 and this 6 Mhz beacon is called Hexy2k based on the list that is a sticky at the top of this sub-forum.

Haystack is down to 4096.350 KHz and I have seen a couple times where it was sending what is like an M character. If I did not see it on my spectrum display I would think that I was hearing things. I can't say for sure that it is not some sort of super rapid fade. Area temps are in the mid thirties.
Fun stuff!

well..... what the heck, LOL. Haystack is sitting at 4096.378 KHz right now with a pretty strong signal. I've seen the pictures of how it is built so I guess I should not be surprised at its electronic hiccups. I wish the owner would go fix his Inyo Whooper. I miss that goofy sound.

Haystack has never drifted back to 4096.370 KHz that I have logged for a few months. It seems to have been retuned or somehow settled 25-30 Hz lower than the past loggings. At this time the signal strength is pretty good

4096.340 KHz
I am listeneing to Haystack right now and it is starting off about 30 Hz lower than during the day. The signal is weak so it is hard to tell more than that the pattern is irregular. I might hear one full length dash and then a long silence.
