I'm copying Hiker at 7998.19 kHz. The signal fades in and out, but definitely strong in between fades.

Question: Why is it named Hiker?

Years ago the initial owner of the beacon hiked into remote areas and put the beacon out running off a solar  panel and sometimes a battery.
The initial owner gave it away to a guy that has it put in a jeep with a vertical antenna...so often it is at different locations now that its home is a jeep.

Hope that helps...the info. I gave you came to me from a source way down the line so I don't know even if it is accurate...I forget the Hiker 2 freq...I have heard it now and then but it was sometime ago...I would have to look over my logs.

Merry Christmas

Thank for the backstory, I really like that.

Merry Christmas to you, too.
