Anyone include the HiFer band in their scans?

Does anyone else include the HiFer band in their scans?

I have had a little action on the HiFer band, in addition to my own HiFer beacon on 13.565 MHz.

Speaking of the HiFer beacon.....  It just got some new double-shield Times Microwave coax, and it actually improved!  Now, I have to take some new field strength measurements to make sure it is still within limits.  There was a lot of leakage from my old cable which threw my previous readings off, so I suspect there is more signal in the ether now since it is noticeably stringer at my QTH 70 miles away.

Antenna is a hamstick on top of a metal building high atop a mountain with clear shot of the horizon in almost all directions.

I do when the power is out :D
(that's the single, most noisiest band at my QTH)

Peace!

Wow!  Thanks for the report.

Amazing what a couple milliwatts into a hamstick will do on the 22m band.
