Dear LF Group,

In case anybody is trying to identify beacon signals, this is when I 
have been transmitting over the last few days, all on 135.9230kHz:

2047 on 3/2/2001 until 0350 on 4/2 - "M0BMU" at 1hr per callsign

2120 on 4/2/2001 until 0235 on 5/2 - as above

1945 on 5/2/2001 until 0240 on 6/2 - Increased speed to 1/2hr per 
call (about 30s dots).

If anybody would like a different signal, or at different times, let me 
know and I'll try to oblige.

I looked at 136.75kHz with an eye to the possibility of receiving the 
WA2XTF beacon, given the good propagation there has been 
lately. in a range of +/-5Hz there are several spectral lines of 
variable strength. In order to stand much chance of being visible, 
WA2XTF will have to avoid these lines, and have a frequency that 
is known to within 0.1Hz or so. Has anyone at AMRAD measured 
the frequency accurately lately?

I think my E-mail is working, but it is taking longer than usual for 
things to appear.

Will be transmitting again tonight, using the shorter dots, provided 
the wind does not get too wild for my antenna.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
