[Elecraft] OT: Propagation

[Joe Planisky]

Speaking of beacons, does anyone know anything about what seem to be  
beacons that appeared in the CW portions of 40m, 30m, 20m, and 15m  
last week?  Well, I first heard them last week, don't know when they  
might have first appeared.  Maybe they've been there forever and I  
just never noticed.

They were like slow cw dashes, 1 second on and one second off, there  
was never any ID.  I copied them Sept. 14 around 1900Z on

7037.84
10121.67
14029.90
21021.90

I don't think it was local as there was QSB and they faded out in the  
evening, 15m first through 40m last.

I don't hear them now, although there is something on 14029.9 that  
sounds like someone repeatedly tuning up with varying power.

Just curious.
