4/MHz beacons in the midwest
« on: October 11, 2014, 0200 UTC »
Gents, has anyone else caught these beacons? Kilo brought these to my attention the other night. Curious as I haven't seen any beacons in this portion of the band from my QTH.

I have a very faint copy on the dasher at 4095.416 tonight.  Look hard and you can see it in the image below, but nearly as strong as BDM was receiving it.  I have no sign of the others in your video, BDM.



I don't think this is a desert beacon.  Anyone else hearing this one?
