There is a beacon station on channel 14, on Mt. Diablo in California,
~20-80 milliwatts, which gives 3 letters in morse (its' pseudo-call
letters--I suppose), how how many are able to copy this signal?

John

I'm too far away, but one would think that it would be very difficult
for anyone to hear it, with all the noise/skip and chatter on 14?

Interesting, though. Can you tell us more about it, ans why they are
doing it? Thanks

I monitored for awhile starting at 4:10 PM on 8-19.
I couldn't hear it. I'm about 30 straight-line miles
from it. I don't know what mode it uses or how often
it sends, but I'll try again at night.

I copied it FB a couple of years ago. Here's the link.

Hey Scott,

Just came back from operating as WA2SI/3 from Carroll County. Had some
outrageous Backfin crabcakes from Capt. Dan's on Rt. 26.

If you had my cell phone number, I could have made contact on 2 or 11 meters.
