Default non-ham QRP DX beacon.

Up for a challenge? QSL my very low power beacon.

Frequency: 13.5608 mHz +/-25 Hz.
Power: 4.0 milliwatts
Antenna: 17' vertical
Modes: 12 WPM CW alternating QRSS3 approximately every 2 minutes.
Power Source: Solar Power
Location: West Clarksville, New York, USA

Valid screen captures or audio recordings will be rewarded with a nice
e-QSL.

I've heard a few HIFER beacons out that way.. are you using a particular
callsign?

I can currently hear one up in that area send 'HI'.

The beacon list that existed on LWCA.org is gone, so I don't know where that
beacon is located, though I do remember it from the list.

The fact that no updated beacon lists or forums specifically for this type
of operation exist any longer is why I decided to start my Unlicensed QRP
site and forum.

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.

Have copied "HI" here in Tucson frequently and got a QSL from him. I
also copied the one out of Oklahoma but can't remember the call sign.
The latter was a QRSS signal.
