New 8Mhz dasher
« on: December 20, 2015, 2102 UTC »
I'm hearing a slow dasher on 7.98Mhz. Dunno if it's new or an old reactivated. Short dash, long quiet interval.

Anyone else hr it?

Heard on 8001.2 kHz this morning, I think this is the same beacon, 5 second period.

8001.2 again this morning.
Also the long period beacon on 8000.25 kHz.

The lower bands were completely dead here, I did not even have reliable A on 2097. Not a single dit.
