Arzonia Ron reports:

2097.38  05:22Z – The “A” beacon doing a respectable job breaking just over the top of an S8 noise floor

4078.25  05:23Z – “W” just above the noise floor, which was only about S1 for a change.

4089.20  06:03Z – The DVNP dasher, weak with quite a bit of QSB but making it just above the noise

4096.29  06:11Z – One of the 4096 cluster beacons, Hexie I believe in JTNP with one second dashes, weak with the noise at S1

4079.62  06:21Z – The temperature beacon.  I could make out the “TMP” and either 4’s or 5’s for the temp but too much QSB to nail it down solid.  Very weak.

These were on the Yaesu FT-817 with my 20 meter attic dipole.

it is 3:30 in the afternoon here local time.....i am now hearing CO,FL and Echo after finding that my xm radio
was generating hash here in the house and the receiver i am now using ,
has a display readout that doesnt match the frequencies published on
the group website ....so after turning off the hash generator and
tuning to the correct freq and storing them in the memories I am now
able to hear the 3 beacons......john

Georgia reports:
Snagged KX this morning. Dial was 4097.4kHz and the note was at 810Hz (with
700 Hz being the center frequency). So I'd say KX was on 4097.51kHz.

Was using the Yaesu and the miniwhip active antenna at the time. Some QSB,
strongest signal about a minute or so into the recording.
