22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / Beacon KAH
« on: December 11, 2020, 1706 UTC »
I decided to listed today having not scanned the 22 meter band for a while. I got very nice copy of the beacon KAH out of Ontario. That is 1000km from my QTM in MN.
I made a recording. You can hear the beacon under the CODAR.

The beacon was on 13565.88 instead of the listed 13566.06

Beacons WAS and ODX were briefly heard as well.

HF Mystery Signals / Channel Marker on 14.317?
« on: November 13, 2020, 2019 UTC »
Any else hearing a repeated beeping on 14.317 mhz?

I am hearing it at 20:18 UTC. (Update: started to fade about 20:50 and by 20:51 UTC was no longer audible or had stopped)

Sounds a bit like a channel marker? Not familiar with any that would be on this frequency.

Just a repeating tone over and over. About 1 sec on 1 sec off. Seems to repeat every minute. There is a slight pause once per minute. 37 pips per min.

22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / WAS 13564.85 1703 UTC 29 Jan 2019
« on: January 29, 2019, 1709 UTC »
My second beacon found...

WAS

It was extremely difficult if not impossible to hear and ID by ear. I was able to see it on the waterfall once in a while and eventually confirm the ID with at least one clear visual when it faded in just long enough for a few rounds ID's in a row. Looks to be about 1200 miles away from my QTH.

22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / K6FRC 13565 1640 UTC 29 Jan 2019
« on: January 29, 2019, 1652 UTC »
Hello all,

I finally logged my first 22 meter beacon today. It was K6FRC in California. I am located in Minnesota. I had to really dig it out of the mud. It would fade in and out but I was eventually able to copy the full ID a number of times. About 1,800 miles.
