UNID beacon 7999.5 CW 0121 UTC 27 Sep 2016
« on: September 27, 2016, 0121 UTC »
I am hearing a beacon on 7999.50khz with a 712 Hz tone with 18 beeps per.  Fading at times but with a good signal.

My recording of this is located at:

http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/ped0Qir2/file.html

Hope this helps as I haven't had much luck with beacons.  Hearing on a random length low height horizontal E/W using a MFJ-945E Tuner (POS)  the vertical 20m ant hears nothing here in Troy, Ohio.

I split this off from the other thread, as this sounds like the 7998.3 kHz beacon.

We need a name for this one, other than "the beacon that isn't Hiker"  ;D
