Re: Sept 9, unID on 28201 at 2204 sending nothing but 20 dits or E`s between long pauses: ``Glenn, The unidentified CW beacon that you heard on 28201 kHz is N4WLO, in Theodore, Alabama. He started transmitting about three weeks ago and was assigned the frequency of 28200.5 kHz by the IARU Region 2 Beacon Coordinator. I?ve heard him several times since then, always very close to 28200.5, but perhaps he drifted up a bit yesterday. He does send out his call letters in between the 20 dits and long pauses that you noted, but usually only every 8-10 minutes. In a brief post on https://www.freelists.org/archive/hfbeacons/08-2024 he described his activity this way: ?I just moved to 28200500 HZ. The DASHES are synchronized with GPS timing and start at the top of the second? and last for 500 millisecond. This allows me to measure the path delay/time of flight for a back scatter signal from approx 2400 miles south of mobile. N4WLO?
