AUDIOCLIP: 4VHTIAIE UNID 10mt BEACON

4VHTIAIE 28221 KHz 18.00 - 18.30 UTC cw 02-05-2010

The audioclip is available he

Play it slowly and a new mystery appears. It's not 4VHTIAE, I'm not sure
but the only thing that is clear is the first 4. It may be a 4s6 (Sri Lanka
novice with code) but that's awfully far from Italy. Possibly 4S6TIL.

If you ever do find out who it is suggest that they slow their ID down
to about 3-4wpm and exagurate the spacing between letters. Then it is
slow enough to copy the dits and dahs on paper and figure it out. It
might anoy experienced hams, but inexperienced ones, or swl's can "get
it".

There are also a lot of Eastern European hams running 3-4 wpm, having decided
it was better to get on the air at the speed they can do, than to practice
until they can reach the speed everyone else does.

Other hams are working them, so it works.
