HF Beacons / Unknown dasher, 4102.8

« on: January 29, 2010, 0149 UTC »

Hiya all,

While surfing the beacons this evening at around 0120 UTC I saw something I have not noticed before...I think.  Just above the W wind beacon I see a dasher.  30 dashes per minute and dashes are one second long, so dead time is also one seond long.  Center freq looked pretty stable and at 4102.8 kHz, about 450 Hz above the W wind beacon.

At first signal was pretty weak, but did come up a bit before fading again, I grabbed the attached images at about the peak.  Right now I can just tell it is in there for some of the dashes, not hearing all of them.

Anyone else hearing this?

T!

The Saline Valley dasher is coming in nicely on 5205.31 kHz center freq.  Quite the sag during the dash.  This is a daytime only dasher if I remember right?  I am pretty sure I have never caught it after sundown.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Barnyard Radio, 6930 USB, 2245z Jan 9 2010

Barnyard is making it into SoCal right now, 2244 z, on 6930 USB.  Elvis Birthday Bash show.

So far all Elvis, including the Ed Sullivan Show introduction of Elvis doing Heartbreak Hotel.

Edit:  At 2325 z Barnyard is S8 with my noise floor at S2, so a really good and clear signal.  "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" playing, Elvis sounding pretty stoney at times.
