Welcome to the hobby!

Welcome to the forum!

What radio did you buy and what antenna are you using?

Hi Teotwaki,
Thank you...

I purchased the Alinco DX-R8 since it was a good entry level price point.

Thinking about getting the GMRS lic and a CB; however, not sure yet. Small steps first.

Ok understand...

That is very interesting that you heard it all the way in Ottawa. However, I believe the 40m band has a 'fair' status during day according to QRZ.

Hi GrahamC,

Yes all that you say makes sense and thank you for taking the time to detail all that you did.


I put my location in the message - I am in MD USA. Should I put the location in the title of the message? What is more helpful to others?

Thank you

Hi GrahamC nice to meet you.
Thank you...

I am just starting and a little unsure of myself yet; however, I did say 'yet', so excited to keep learning and moving forward.

I believe it is just as you discribe. Sort of goes

bip bip bip on the second.

Since I am new.... What do you mean by 'carrier frequency' and tune +/- 1kHz to hear it? Do you suggestion any books I should be reading? I sort of got into the hobby on a Whim... and just purchased an affordable  receiver.

Thank you

Hi folks,
7268.00
2018-04-11
17:28 utc
Gaithersburg Md

I just purchased my first HF receiver, and just getting into the hobby. This is my first post, so please correct me if this is not the correct location.

I was tunning around the 40m HAM band, and found a beacon of some sort at 7268.00 kHz, and was surprised to hear it on this frequency.

Excited to start this hobby.
