Anyone else hearing this beacon? "NEED". I've been listening to the newly
authorized hams on the 600M band and this beacon shows up.
I'm in western NC- 7' shielded/amplified loop + homebrew RX.

Tonight (2006 09 28) at about 23:30Z I am picking up a very weak signal
on 503.6KHz. I am rearranging my radio room and antennas, so I am
using my field radio and antenna. A DX398 and a random wire, about 40'
long, at a 6' elevation.

There is too much QRN to tell if there is any modulation on the
carrier.

I am located between Lexington KY and the KY river.
