"Windy" is a pirate beacon which has been logged on 4102.8 kHz CW. It transmits Morse code telemetry of Temperature "TMPfff" degrees Fahrenheit, Battery Voltage "Bvvv" in decivolts, and 5 intervals of "W" wind velocity dit pulses corresponding to revolutions of its ambient wind sensor. It is widely believed to be a solar powered wild beacon somewhere in the rough back-country of southern California, USA. The typical timing of the "Windy" beacon telemetry is as follows: A 26 second temperature and battery interval; followed by 5 intervals of 13 seconds each for wind telemetry; with a total cycle time of approximately 135 seconds, repeating 24/7/365.
