« Reply #47 on: December 13, 2015, 1659 UTC »

20151214-0318-5352 5-HG7BHB-0007 par SV1XV, on ipernity

Today at 1640 I noticed that CW beacon HG7BHB moved to a new frequency, 5352.5 kHz. Until now it was on 5357.0 kHz. The beacon is located in Rackeve, Hungary, JN97LE and transmits 50 W using a 6.5m longwire antenna @4m.

prior to noon Rainy was very weak and fading heavily. It is now maintaining a more steady signal strength but the fading kicks in every so often and lasts for a while. At the moment this is the only beacon that I am receiving
