HF Beacons / Death Valley ditter back up, 8002
« on: October 16, 2009, 0050 UTC »
Howdy all,
Got an email that the Death Valley ditter was back up, but on a different frequency. The reported frequency is 8002 kHz.
I have yet to see it here at the house only a few air miles from DV. But Pikes is in well at 8003.39.

HF Beacons / New ditter in Death Valley
« on: September 22, 2009, 1532 UTC »
Howdy all,
I got an email this morning claiming there is a new ditter beacon in Death Valley. Supposed to be up for a couple of days as a test.
Frequency is 5712 kHz and 60 dits / min. Specifics of antenna and power were not given. Specifics of power supply was not given, but it was supposed to be 24/7 during the test.
I have not yet heard it from my location a short distance from Death Valley, but maybe I am in just the wrong location. Latter this evening or tonight I think I might take a short drive and see what I can hear, I will be looking down into DV from that location.
Note the frequency, I think that may be why I got the email, I post to a lot of places about V24/M94 transmissions, and one of the freqs used is 5715 kHz.

Spy Numbers / New V24 frequency, and V24 / M94 description pages updated / added
« on: September 15, 2009, 1624 UTC »
Hello all,
A new frequency has been noted for V24, 6730 kHz. This new freq appears to be quite active, but none of the old freqs appear to be noticeably less active.
The conclusion that might be drawn is that 6730 kHz has been in use all along, and this would also explain some of the "slack" time on the other freqs. Of course, there are still a lot of "holes" in the schedule, and that might very possibly mean there are more frequencies out there to be found for the V24 / M94 pair.
The Wiki on this site for V24 has been updated. A page for M94 has been added.

HF Beacons / Last 24 hour beacon logs, May 31 2009
« on: May 31, 2009, 2015 UTC »
Howdy all,
Have been paying a bit of attention to beacons in the last 24 hours, and have picked up a few.
2997.31 05/31/2009 0424 z "A" beacon
4079.63 05/31/2009 0435 z "TMP" beacon, and 79 degrees
4088.83 05/31/2009 0442 z Dasher beacon
4095.87 05/31/2009 0138 z Coxie dasher
4096.27 05/31/2009 0138 z Hexie dasher
4096.62 05/31/2009 0138 z Kelsie dasher
4097.26 05/31/2009 0138 z Inyo-Whooper dasher
4102.33 05/31/2009 0454 z "W" wind beacon
4103.80 05/31/2009 0458 z "O" beacon
5205.34 05/31/2009 1827 z Sally dasher
6626.39 and 6626.59 05/31/2009 1838 z Rainy beacon
6626.51 05/31/2009 0120 z Hexie 2 dasher
7997.94 05/31/2009 0613 z "UFO" beacon
8000.56 05/31/2009 1803 z "S" beacon
8000.82 05/31/2009 0612 z Dasher beacon, about 96 dash / minute
8004.29 05/31/2009 2210 z Pike 78/min dasher
8211.82 05/31/2009 0640 z "OR" beacon
Several things of note in this batch:
The "O" beacon on 4103.80, I have never seen this before and it was very weak.
The "Rainy" beacon first showed up on 6626.59 and had _huge_ intrapulse drift. 20 minutes later it was on the more regular freq of 6626.39 and showed less drift during the pulse.
This was the first time I have grabbed the "UFO" beacon.
