Re: [IRCA] 1650 Mystery Beacon "SAC"

[Mark Pettifor <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any further updates on this?

It just faded in here (EN71) at 2145z on my South antenna. Came up 
pretty quickly. 2140z there was nothing. Sunset terminator crossing from 
Maine/Nova Scotia down across the Eastern Atlantic into the middle of 
northern South America. (Geez, that sounded confusing...)  Gulf of 
Mexico still pretty far away from sunset yet.

I wonder if it's mobile? (Marine comms of some kind...)
