The biggest beacon around that frequency (there are a few others) is DI2AM on 505.180. This is received here in Shetland 24/7, although audibility dips during the day, it's always visible on my grabber. It sends a normal speed CW ident follwed by its callsign in QRSS3, repeating every 5 minutes. Check http://www.gm4slv.org.uk/grabber2.htm to see what it looks like on a waterfall screen. Good luck from the far north, John GM4SLV Shetland IP90GG On Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:26:18 EDT GandalfG8@aol.com wrote: > I'm still sorting out some interference problems here on the west > coast of Scotland and everything is a bit in disarray but did see a > reasonable signal on 505.2 for a very short while before the noise > kicked back in.
