Why would someone send "SOS" on longwve - that is not an emergency frequency
anyone monitors ? "Brian Hill" brianehill@charterDOTnet wrote in message ... Any body else got this. I now its not SW but interesting -- 73 and good Ding RX: OR-5000, SP-600 AX-6, SIX-28 Ant: 100' longwise, Eavesdropper Dipole Brian's Radio Universe http://webpages.charter.net/brianehill/ |
I don't know? I just heard something that sounded like it. Probably just a
beacon. I,m not hip to long wave. Brian "Maximus" wrote in message ink.net... Why would someone send "SOS" on longwve - that is not an emergency frequency anyone monitors ?

Ah, a beacon may be exactly it. I can't read morse code, so as interesting
as they are I don't know where they are S. "Brian Hill" brianehill@charterDOTnet wrote in message ... I don't know? I just heard something that sounded like it. Probably just a beacon.

Well, if you can copy down the dots and dashes and look up a few letters you can use the following site: http://frodo.bruderhof.com/ka2qpg/ Note that further down on that page is a site to look up US beacons.

Yea That's probably what it is. I used to have a book on beacon freqs and
stuff. Oh well "Maximus" wrote in message ink.net... Ah, a beacon may be exactly it. I can't read morse code, so as interesting as they are I don't know where they are S.

Dots and dashes are the crux of my quandary. It gets hard to tell which is a
"dot" and which is a "dash" s. BTW, they come in very here and with good strength. Thanks for the reference. "N8KDV" wrote in message ... Maximus wrote: Ah, a beacon may be exactly it.

Thanks for the reference. You're welcome! Let me say here that perhaps it's easier to think of them as sounds, rather than dots and dashes. That is to say if you think of them as dit's and dah's it might be easier. Example: di-dah = A rather than dot-dash .- dah-di-di-dit =B rather than dash-dot-dot-dot -... That might help, I don't know! That's how I was first instructed. "N8KDV" wrote in message ... Maximus wrote: Ah, a beacon may be exactly it.
