Yes, my apologies for not including the callsign. The callsign is "P". It is
a short callsign because of the keying circuit I am using. Formerly, the
beacon was known as "RAD" in Radford Virginia and was heard in several
states.

I'm not sure if I ever heard RAD or not but I have heard one out east that was
of comparable power to yours before.

I'll keep an ear out for it. I've a 200' long wire aimed out that way.

The 'HI' beacon seems to be the predominate one I hear here, though I do hear
several others including one that seems to send 'S', one that seems to send either
'I' or 'EE' and one that seems to simply send 'E'.

The thing I like about the HIFER beacons is that since they are such low power one
gets to detect the subtleties of propagation.
