    Anyone with general coverage?

    Yeah it's not exactly ham radio, but close enuff.....

    My beacon is on the air at ~13.5605 (22 meters). It falls under Part 15 with a few milliwatts into a vertical. It's solar powered. ID is the letter L at about 8 WPM.

    Let me know if you hear it.

    How is 20 meters right now? If 20 is dead, chances are you're gonna hear zippo from my beacon.

    Is the dash long? Like 3 or 4 seconds? Could be a hetrodyne I'm hearing or who knows.

    This is what I'm hearing. It's a download.
    :-/ I'll have to put headphones on for that one! Thanks for posting it.

    Does not appear to be getting out here to the Left Coast, although there's a nasty heterodyne at that frequency that could very well be masking it even if it were.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Unless the spots are numerous, you're too close for 22M to work well for us. I'll keep a receiver around the frequency, though.

    Stay off 13.555 USB - the "Echo Charlie" pirates have taken to using that frequency as of late and your QRPp signal will be buried amongst their conversations.
