"A" Beacon, 6291.93 and 10486.55 kHz, Dec 6, 2013, 1715 UTC

Many people are pretty familiar with the "A" pirate beacon on 2097.31 kHz.  As beacons go this one is a power house.  Today I stumbled across the 3rd and 5th harmonics, on 6291.93 kHz and 10486.55 kHz.  They were weak but mostly copiable here at 1715 UTC on Dec 6, 2013.  I looked for other harmonics, but those were the only ones I found for sure.  The 7th harmonic on about 14681.17 kHz may have been in there, I kept seeing repeating noise changes at about the right interval, but never really heard or saw the A.
