The "OQ" prefix for drift net beacons has only appeared from around May 2023 and I am one station short of logging the entire allocation. 

I wonder if the same trawler company has the "OQ" prefix beacons on their vessels?  Going back through the logs for the past couple of months a list has been compiled of the "OQ" beacons with all logged except "OQ5" which escapes me so far...

OQ1  2.428MHz  1045z  27th June 2023
OQ2  2.441MHz  0925z  02nd June 2023
OQ3  2.465MHz  1050z  27th June 2023
OQ4  2.493MHz  0844z  27th June 2023
OQ5
OQ6  2.543MHz  0936z  02nd June 2023
OQ7  2.558MHz  0911z  25th May 2023
OQ8  2.572MHz  0815z  27th June 2023
OQ9  2.587MHz  0820z  15th June 2023
OQ0  2.600MHz  1816z  15th June 2023.

Channel spacing is erratic, ranging from 13KHz to 28KHz apart in order of frequency, so it would be safe to say that "OQ5" will be hiding between 2.506MHz to 2.530MHz, presuming that it is fact on air.

On the night of the 28th of June 2023 I sought out beacon "OQ5" with no luck, however the band was open and sister beacon "OQ6" was audible, maybe "OQ5" was not on air or out of propagation range?

Following the frequency pattern of the "OQ" beacons mentioned in the previous post I tracked back and forward in the frequency range 2.500MHz to 2.540MHz, the beacons listed below were logged but no trace of "OQ5" was found.

2.506MHz  CC1  1014z  569 report.
2.511MHz  GI9  0850z  539 report.
2.521MHz  ON2  0910z  559 report.
2.527MHz  PO2  0920z  549 report.
2.535MHz  CZ2  0859z  559 report.
2.543MHz  OQ6  0900z  549 report.
