Utility / P and S beacons on 13528khz
« on: May 31, 2021, 2126 UTC »
Just took a listen on 22m and heard beacon "P" on approx 13528 and "S" in the same passband.
P was quite loud so presumably somewhere in Europe ?Beacon  S rather weaker but very clear.

I have never heard these beacons before . Anyone know anything about them ?

I only found them by chance as I was testing out my own JUN beacon - but I had forgotten that I had temporarily switched the crystal for a totally different  frequency hahaha

Very happy to report that JUN beacon, located in central Florida, has been heard by VO1FOG in Newfoundland ......that's a distance of 2014 miles +/- a couple of miles. The audio recording was very clear with a  good strength.

Not bad for 4.5mW ;-)
