HF Beacons / Re: "A" on 2MHz beacon off the air?
« on: June 05, 2020, 0428 UTC »
I've not heard the "A" beacon in at least two weeks
Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Things That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissable in your locale.
Instead of it being a beacon it might be a channel marker / place holder for RTTY or some service like that, especially since it is USB and not CW
Edit: I found a very old mid-90's SPEEDX list that had this:
5093 SOFIA, BULGARIA LZJ2 CONTINUOUS

2097.290 KHz "A" beacon'. Signal peaks at 20 dB over the noise but has some deep fades
4096.125 KHz "L" Beacon. Weak but readable since the noise level seems low

4096.130 KHz "L" Beacon! Weak but readable..Popped out of the noise then sank away.
Credit goes to mark-n-nut (Mark-In-North-Utah?) for this discovery yesterday. I hope the beacon stays on the air a long time.

Its there! It comes up out of the noise this morning but only for a few seconds. Have heard a W and dits is all so far. Prop is just terrible for me here. Has the band gone long... or short... I think long. Will have to go and wander threw some SDR's and see. While listening and watching for windy I have been seeing a signal on about 4096.1 sending the letter "L" have you heard it?
