HF Beacons / 8000.5 Random Ditter 2009 UTC 11 Mar 2014

« on: March 11, 2014, 2012 UTC »

Another new one for me, observed while parked at 8000 kHz.

This one is sending random strings of dits. About the same strength as the guy up on 8000.6, that is, not very strong. Much weaker than A (or is it AE?) on 8000.4.

HF Beacons / 8000.6 Random Ditter 2002 UTC 11 Mar 2014

« on: March 11, 2014, 2009 UTC »

This is a new one for me. About every 30 to 120 seconds, I am hearing a burst of dits. The number of dits varies.

Fairly weak.

Chuck Norris doesn't need a directional antenna, unwanted radio waves are afraid to approach his radio.

HF Beacons / 8000.4 dasher 1530 UTC 11 Mar 2014

« on: March 11, 2014, 1533 UTC »

Fairly good signal this morning. The period is very long, about 48 to 50 seconds. I am not sure if this is intentional or not, but it transmits what sounds like a morse A, followed by a pause and then dit. So if intentional it is sending AE.

The final dit is higher in frequency, and may be unintentional. So perhaps it is really sending A?

Two guys in in a QSO, sounded like lost CBers.  They were giving their location in Massachusetts repeatedly.
