W Windy Beacon 4102.3 khz 7:17 utc 1-2-14
« on: January 02, 2014, 0724 UTC »
I wonder, what does the "Windy" refer to besides W?
It does "drift" down frequency a bit when it "keys" down....
It also throws in one or more solitary dits at times?

The number of dits varies with the wind speed. I am not sure of the exact relationship, maybe Token or someone else knows?
