At 1632Z, it abruptly shifted down mid-transmission to 7998.92.

Currently (9/20 1630Z) being received on Northern Utah #1 on 7998.95 at about an S5 with fading.

This was being transmitted at around 10-12 wpm. Definitely not QRSS.

Seems to have shifted to 8005.10 at 1620.

Received a beacon at approximately 1600 transmitting "FB" on 7998.95, on the KFS SE, KFS Omni, and Northern Utah #3 kiwis. All subject to a great deal of fading. The transmissions seem to have abruptly stopped at 1618.

Who hasn't been faked out by a Link 11 signal?  ;)

A couple of weeks ago, I had a post written for this forum about a new one. Decided to open up the filter and....Yup! Link 11.

HF Beacons / New dasher 4093.2?
« on: January 19, 2021, 1704 UTC »
Heard for the last couple of minutes on the KFS 135° receiver, a 0.5s dash about every 2 seconds. It's in and out of the mush.

Copying it in the noise on the KFS 135 SDR right now.

HF Beacons / New dasher beacon at 7999.10?
« on: December 10, 2020, 2051 UTC »
I'm currently receiving from the KFS 135 receiver. 2 seconds on, 2 seconds off, 15 dashes per minute fairly precisely. This doesn't seem to be any of the listed current beacons. Also heard fairly strongly on the Northern Utah Omni receiver.

Anyone else receive this signal?

HF Mystery Signals / Re: Beacon network logging 10/1/20 16:17z

And, magically, it is gone at ~1622.

Wonder if the operator monitors HFU?  ;)

Going on right now (1617z), one dit every ~8 seconds. Very strong on the Northern Utah KiwiSDR.

So far I've found 6700 kHz (just below the ditter beacon and 6700.5) and 7050. Loggings continue, updates in comments.

This was the first logging.

Chris, feel free to move the post (of course). I'll log these in that forum from now on.

Thanks, Teotwaki!

Cheers!

Not sure if this belongs here, but I logged the following on multiple KiwiSDRs on the east coast. The characteristic of the signal (with one exception, noted below) was a double pulse every four seconds, (pulses of 0.04 s separated by 0.04 seconds). The signal on 5007 was of the form single pulse, double pulse, single pulse, <rinse repeat>.

The signal appeared to be a carrier centered on the frequencies below with a 2 kHz signal on on both sidebands.

I don't know if there were any signals above 9228 kHz, as these disappeared at 1730 UT.

These were received on KiwiSDRs in Uniontown, PA (W3PIE), Westminster, MD, Rockport, ME (WA2ZKD/1), but the uniformly strongest signal was on a receiver in Niantic, CT (KK1D). I was unable to perform a successful TDoA, likely because of the brief nature of the signals.

HF Beacons / Re: Windy 4102.85 malfunction?
« on: April 23, 2020, 1932 UTC »
That's interesting. I'm probably missing something, but can't think of where an S would fit into Windy's telemetry. I just heard it on the KPH SDR, at 2346 utc. I haven't listened at this time of day before, and it was warmer than usual, at 81 degrees and 12.5V.

Were I to guess, (and of course I am), the S and H transmissions indicate a low battery voltage, possibly two different levels.
