"K" CW beacon, 5153 khz, 0934 UTC 10/21
« on: October 21, 2012, 1241 UTC »
Tonight I was tuning around on my Panasonic RF-B45 and heard a "K" beacon with fair to poor signals at 5150 khz (the radio only has 5 khz readout).  The beacon was pretty clear, as there were fairly low noise levels.  Had a lot of QSB.

Grabbed my DX-390 and found the beacon in a bit weaker at 5153 khz.  Was gone during recheck of the frequency at 0945 utc.
An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).
