For Your Signal

On a good day from my Kirkland, Washington QTH, I can hear three stations on
the 14.1 MHz beacon.  That would be 4U1UN, W6WX (always the loudest), and
KH6WQ (usually the weakest because it is often off the back of my hex-beam).
But, when I can hear any of these stations, I almost always hear all three
signal levels and I am pretty sure that if this were a regular QSO that I
could copy (at least CW) all three signal levels.

I believe in these begins and the 14.1 MHz beacon is my "home plate" spot
for my K3 when I am busy doing other things.  So, I get this nice background
reminder about how propagation is going and so on -- at least for 20 meters.
I have listened to some of the other bands but I favor listening to this 20
meter beacon.
