[Scan-DC] 222 MHz Beacon

[Iain McFadyen]

Though your morse is very good, you have made two common mistakes!!

Firstly, you have inverted the dots and dashes for the last letter of the
callsign.

Secondly, you have added a superfluous dash onto the end of the fifth digit of
the QRA locator.

So, the last letter of the callsign is not a "P" .--.
The last letter of the callsign is an "X" -..-

The fifth character of the QRA is not a "1"  .----
The fifth character of the QRA is a "j" .---

So, mystery solved:

***   The Beacon is W3CCX, in Philadelphia PA.  FM29jw   ***

Frequency is listed at 222.066
