Early May log.

[Looking-Glass]

Propagation has been very poor on the low bands in the past couple of weeks so very little to report, however, last night the band opened up and the following logged:

* 1.922.5MHz CW is a SELCAL activated Japanese drift net beacon, so it has no preceding or ending carrier, nor does it have a regular transmit cycle.  This beacon is only activated on a need be basis by the Mother Ship.  This frequency, plus 1.978.5MHz CW are SELCAL activated beacon frequencies and they have been allocated a "block" of call signs (two letters X three numbers) by the Japanese fishing authorities.  The only way to log them is to continually monitor those two frequencies when the band is open and hope for the best.

A similar situation possible exists on 2.005MHz as well with a unique 1X1 callsign (one number plus one letter) used at random times.
