Beacons readable in North Europe
« on: August 14, 2015, 2333 UTC »
Hey,

I decided to follow Teotwaki and listen to several frequencies more frequently. Of course chances are rare that I may hear one of the famous Beacons from the US. But maybe one day, when fortuna is on my side...

What I'm curious about: are there other people in the EU trying to copy the US Beacons?

So far for this evening, 23:30 UTC

  7509.00 kHz "S"
10871.67 kHz "D"
10872.05 kHz "X"

Can you listen to 5153.7 to see if it is on frequency and sending a clean letter "D"?

Thank you!

*chuckles* I know about those offical lists. I'm curious about the unofficial ones from the US.
