CW on 475 khz 6:15 - 6:35 utc Nov 21 '13

While logging NDB's I notice a signal in part of the LW amateur band. this is a first for me.

I listened and recorded from 6:15 to 6:35 utc.  It was a bit too fast for my less than novice ears but i got a few bits and pieces...
DE WD2XSH/10 , (grid) DM79GX, and QSL.  It did not sound like a QSO, but rather seemed to be repeating at regular intervals...
I looked up the call sign and see it is or was part of the LW experimental beacon network..  COOL BEANS!

Send reception reports to those respective stations, and they'll send you QSLs back. Or so I'm told just in case you're interested.

Thanks Brian.

I asked for one from one of the stations, didn't get it, so I just gave up. Didn't feel like asking again.
