29 NOV 2021:
1122 UTC: Windy sending S
1125 UTC: "A" back on 2097 !
1206 UTC: Weak signal from the Desert Whooper.

Great to see the band back together again 

It is great!

Hearing a "Q" right now (0400Z) on 4094.02.
Actually, have a trifecta of "Q", "DW" and "H" with Windy nowhere to be heard.

Windy seems to be having battery issues today. Right now it is sending "S" about 1 minute apart.

I did check and the freq. difference is what made me ask in forum 

Sorry, your rules aren't obvious to newbies as to how to post around here.

That beacon drifts a lot as the sun gets higher in the sky. I've seen it go from 2095.6 to 2096.1 in the morning.

I just gave you some pointers to helpful information and despite my years of listening to beacons I always welcome the help of newbies and pros alike.

An old favorite has returned, first noted in central Arizona, good signal with slow, deep fades over the holiday weekend. 0220 UTC 11-29-2021.

Thanks for posting this! It's awesome that the A beacon is back

Token - thanks for posting a direct link to the video. You've create so many videos over the years that
it would be hard to easily find just one.

Long dash beacon via KPH online SDR just above the venerable DW...... complete with key click!

See this fourm's reference list of beacons   https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,9478.0.html

Updates are welcome! Just post them in the Beacon Chat topic. https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,68701.0.html

I'm guessing it was Coxie you heard and the key click is actually due to the fact it is solar powered and the battery is dead or removed.

Discovered this while on the KFS Omi SDR. It has a roughly 30 second cycle: 27 seconds of silence and a 3 second dash.
