P and S beacons on 13528khz
« on: May 31, 2021, 2126 UTC »
Just took a listen on 22m and heard beacon "P" on approx 13528 and "S" in the same passband.
P was quite loud so presumably somewhere in Europe ?Beacon  S rather weaker but very clear.

I have never heard these beacons before . Anyone know anything about them ?

I only found them by chance as I was testing out my own JUN beacon - but I had forgotten that I had temporarily switched the crystal for a totally different  frequency hahaha

I believe these are some of the Russian single letter beacons?

Yes, these are members of the so called MX beacons family. You can find lots of logs in the relevant topic on this forum:
