"L" beacon this morning 6668 KHz

[cwguy]

Hearing L very weak today - fades in every now and then, not strong but good enough to make out the entire morse "L".  Some days it's fairly strong, other days....nada.

Have a friend in Dallas area who reports hearing it just after sunrise and before sunset a few days last week.

Very windy here today - maybe those westerly winds are blowing more signal over the mountains than usual...

Reception Notes:  “L” Beacon 6888

I don’t attempt to listen for the “L” beacon every evening however on
every evening I have tried the signal has been copied. I must admit that it
has never been heard with anything like a strong signal but always with
sufficient strength to easily copy the “L”. Occasionally it is heard with
sufficient signal providing 100% copy of  4 ID’s or more in a row. I have
also seen rapid fade cycles where I copy the ID clearly and then miss the next
one and then copy the third one in the cycle. This rapid cycle happens
frequently especially about a half to one hour after local sundown and in
fact was heard tonight even with considerable storm static from a cold
front approaching central Florida.

The 196 foot random wire I strung up now has become my favorite all
around antenna as it performs well across the spectrum including down
into the NDB band and below. Its very convenient having one good antenna
to work into the Excalibur

Just a few comments on the “L” beacon as it has been great hearing it so reliably.

Peace!
