FB Beacon 7998.95
« on: September 17, 2021, 1621 UTC »
Received a beacon at approximately 1600 transmitting "FB" on 7998.95, on the KFS SE, KFS Omni, and Northern Utah #3 kiwis. All subject to a great deal of fading. The transmissions seem to have abruptly stopped at 1618.

I wonder if it's the same one I reported here and the op is tweaking?

This was being transmitted at around 10-12 wpm. Definitely not QRSS.

At 18:16 UTC it shifted frequency to 7998.97 in mid transmission. It is pretty solid here now and is sending five (5) cycles of "FB" then pauses for about five (5) seconds and then starts another cycle of five FB's.
