[Lowfer] NE Illinois monitoring results for beacon R

[PAUL DAULTON]

I did the same Garry, with the exception I set for qrss 20 which gave me a
 bit more bandspread.
No copy. I also ran 4 argo screens. He is far enough from my beacon  freq
 wise I dont think I got  any desense.
There have been two other beacons on in AR in the past. ARK in Leslie, Ar.
 MP in Paragould, Ar. Both were 
before my time. A friend of mine visited the Leslie station about 10 years
 ago. but I dont know if anyone ever
heard either of them.
I will keep looking.
Paul

John was nice enough to stretch out the dit duration of his beacon R to  
50 seconds so last night was spent in earnest trying to copy it. First,  
beacon WMS was monitored to check conditions to Arkansas. Tuned to  
187.490.3 kHz using QRSS-60, slow, copy was fine around 0500Z, 3/3/09.  
Four versions of ARGO in mode QRSS-30, slow were then launched. The  
center frequency of the first was 169.86 kHz and the rest were spaced  
upward with center-to-center separations of 7 Hz. Around 0800Z the  
automatic screen captures were examined and nothing definitive was  
noted. Four ARGO screens were again launched and the 7 Hz spacings  
continued upward to 169.908 kHz. About 1030Z the results were examined  
and again nothing definitive was noted. Numerous in-and-out signal lines  
were seen but none seemed to match the dit dash dit sequence with the  
proper durations. As a final check on propagation to Arkansas, beacon  
WMS was again monitored and it was still in there fine to 1200Z.  
 
Hopefully other listeners had better luck. If not, there's always
 tomorrow.
