Beacon V5 (8006 ish)
« on: May 29, 2021, 1854 UTC »
Light copy on a very low rep rate station in CW just above HIKER...maybe 8005.5 or 8007 .   Sounds like various CW , bit only once every 30 sec or so.

Anyone else?

I am copying V5 on 8006.6 or so (still working out the frequency) at 2016 UTC 29 May 2021. Best on my 900 ft horizontal sky loop. Sending every half minute or so. A bit of QSB, but really good copy at times when propagation is kind.

At 2017 I just heard some telemetry.

Great to have a new beacon on the air! Thanks to whoever put this one on.

That's it!

I can hear it thru Chris's loop better.

Telemetry is intermittently broadcast.

Heard 1142 UTC this morning, 1 JUN 2021. Nice to have another beacon with a good signal here :)   I really think the 8 MHz band is the place to be, at least if you want DX reception. Better propagation vs 4 MHz, less static, and I would have to think antennas are more efficient?

Just heard it send V5 but I have yet to hear telemetry well enough to decode it. Good signal on Chris's big sky loop
