HF Beacons / Re: Hiker Returned perhaps

« on: August 07, 2016, 0103 UTC »

I am new to these beacons and you guys got me interested in this "hikers beacon"

I tried all day unsuccessfully to hear anything on 7998.3 and then tonight I was surprised to here what I believe is the beacon. It was very weak around 0000z hours but it started to come up to about S3-4 around 0100z (7 Aug 2016). I connected a 3 foot loop antenna and I was surprised to hear it but just faintly. It appears to be coming from the southwest - does that sound right?

I tried to Google the term but I didn't really find any info other than what is on HFU.
