I’d wager it’s a pirate beacon.

Having said that I have a question:
How is it that a "pirate" beacon operating on a non-ham frequency is non-miff-inducing as opposed to one operating in the ham band? LOL

Using the LM339 comparator and a 78L05 low dropout regulator for a voltage reference, a simple low voltage disconnect can be built

HF Beacons / Re: New Dasher Beacon! "KOK"
« on: April 10, 2024, 0643 UTC »...................I must admit to being equal parts intrigued by this beacon, and miffed at the fact that it is operating in an amateur band. I'm both a licensed ham and a CW op, so I am not very happy about this beacon being where it is.

Since the 3579 beacon KOK seems to be stable I added it to the list at https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,9478.msg27047.html#msg27047

HF Beacons / Re: New Dasher Beacon! "KOK"
« on: March 30, 2024, 1533 UTC »By coincidence, I decided to take a listen on the colorburst frequency this evening and maybe call CQ, in a vain attempt to revive the activities of the CLA (Colorburst Liberation Army). I like to monitor my signals on the KPH and KFS online SDR's. On looking at the waterfall, I noticed the KOK beacon, close by, on 3579 KHz. I can hear it at home in the SF East Bay, at about a 5 by 2. It's about a 5 by 5 on both KPH and KFS (Point Reyes and Half Moon Bay).
Googled it, found a YouTube video of it, and then this sub-thread.

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php?topic=127262.0This is not an unlicensed "pirate" HF beacon. I'm unsure if it is a legit Russian broadcast but others may know better.

Thanks for the interesting reception report. However, it is not a pirate HF Beacon so I'll be moving this report and the others to a different part of the forum.
