P beacon 8497.7 to 8497.9 CW 0235 UTC 19 Dec 2014

[weaksigs]

The raspy sounding "P" Beacon is good copy at 0225 UTC. I once again attempted to measure its frequencies, that being the two instantaneous frequencies represented by the "key down" to the "key up" times which form the dot, two dashes and final dot creating the letter "P".  The frequencies are very close to a 200 Hz swing between key down and key up times. Waterfall traces also indicate the frequencies between the 200 Hz shift points but these are not as clear, perhaps altered by the sample time of the Excalibur receiver.

Still interesting and quite good copy now at 0304 UTC.
