HF Beacons / Re: 20 meter dasher testing

PEANUT heard on the air:
3 January 2010 @ 22:00 UTC
Location: upstate South Carolina
Radio: IC-718
Antenna: 400-foot longwire @ 40 feet (north-south pattern)
Radio is tuned to 14.401.000 MHz, CW mode.
Tone falls just a hair above 750 Hz, which makes it just about perfect for that frequency.
Keying is strong and well-defined.
There might possibly be just the slightest hint of chirp or downward drift per dash, but if there is, it's too slight for me to say for sure.
