I will run the 160 meter amateur radio beacon this evening, 21 October our time (22 Oct UTC). I plan two segments, one starting before and running past local sunset from 0105UT to 0135UT, and one from 0550 to 0615UT.
This will be on 1998.5 kHz and comprise a repeated CW identifier of my amateur callsign VE7DXR.

We didn't have much success with it last night, but tonight, Martin Hall in Scotland is bearing down on it with a Beverage, so I'm crossing my fingers.


best wishes,

Loud and clear starting at 01:07, Nick. And yes, it's VVV de VE7DXR (why I'm not an amateur, I guess). Excellent reception, although the first few seconds were a bit wobbly on the frequency....Walt

Hi Nick.

At 01:13 you were 56 db weaker than the CFAX carrier here. Frequency drifted upwards about 100 Hz over a 15 minute period.
