Tried and tried for the "a" beacon with no joy when out in the central coast.

Much of the 100W heath gear of the 70's and 80's used RCA jacks. They're fine RF connectors with an excellent impedance match even at the 100W plus power level.

Windy's putting more power up this way tonight with an easily copyable signal at 0103 local .
Still a toasty 103F and battery voltage at 13.6V at the end of a days charging. Steady wind pips.
Nothing out of the other likely suspects (4089, 4096, etc). Any other likely targets to listen for on the central coast of CA?

Decent copy here in Mid Atlantic... weak audio but better than yesterday. Good jazzy music, that's fun to listen to in nice AM.
Signal coming up as we approach later afternoon

Vy nice AM signals . Jazz instrumentals. Listening live and it sounds really good.
Know nothing about jazz other than it has sax and pianos :-) There seems to be some voice ID but it's super low compared to the music audio
off at 2200

Chris, what time have you heard these? I've been out in Calif and heard them clearly but never from the Right Coast.
