4095.650 KHz  Desert Whooper. The whoops are easy to pick out but it is pretty weak. Telemetry is hard to read
4102.840 KHz  Windy. Heard some dits and had to use an SDR to see if Windy was even operating. (it was)

I was just viewing an SDR and the 4 MHz band is so well populated once again: DW, McGreevy's resurrected beacon, L, the fast ditter and Windy all whispering into the ether at the same time. Very cool!

I wish 2097 "A" was back too but maybe something new will come alive there some day?
