HF Beacons / Re: New HiFer "SPT" Beacon on 13558KHz

« on: November 07, 2015, 0249 UTC »

Just tuned to 13558 and I don't hear it in Chicagoland. On 13560 I hear constant rhythmic chirps and beeps from the Elk Grove industrial/commercial park about 5 to 7 miles south of me. That park is just west of O'hare field. Kenwood R2000 and 7mhz backyard dipole.
