"M" and "K" on 5154 KHz, about 150Hz apart from each other at 0945 UTC.

E5 using the tabletop loop near Vancouver, BC.

Peace!

Very cool :)

They were coming in good too. By 0945 when I took the radio and went to bed, they were well strong enough to be heard with the telescopic.

Heard a pair of europirates making the polar shot, just wavy carrier and Dutch language, no ID.

Hey, if these are going to be good "polar shot" sunspots for the summer, I'll be a happy camper.

Peace!

The beacon world is strange indeed.
