I copied the DW beacon early this morning in Oklahoma City EM15.

10/Mar/2023
0605-0652 UTC
Elecraft KX2 and attic mounted dipole oriented EW

Notes: Very weak signal but whoops easily heard. QSB prevented copying all of the Morse message; portions copied: "DW" "BAT" "TMP" "66" There was a lot of atmospheric noise (QRN), so I had to use quite a bit of attenuation on the receiver.

Thanks for operating this beacon!
