4102.8 Dasher
« on: May 08, 2010, 0029 UTC »

Checked in on the Wind beacon last night and found the 4102.8 dasher making an appearance.  I attached a Argo capture below.

My understanding is that this past week the 4102.8 dasher got a much shorter feedline and an antenna actually cut for 4102, vs the 6 MHz antenna that was in use.  The ID portion of the dasher should be coming online in the near future.

I know for sure this beacon is more strong now at my place then it used to be.

Are you hearing or do you know if the O beacon on 4104.1 is still active?

Tnx, mark-n-nut

The last time I heard the night only "O" beacon was in early April or late March, it was still up then and on 4103.8.  It is an extremely hard one to get for me.  I suspect, but do not know, it is probably still up, just seldom reported.

Edit:  I just checked and as of 0435 UTC May15, 2010 it is still up.  Center freq at this time is 4104.48.
