I checked this morning, no A beacon. Nothing on 4 MHz, either.

Conditions are pretty sucky in my neighborhood with all of the urban noise. Maybe I'll have to take the KX3 out on a day trip

forgot to post up yesterday at 6PM tht I had a decent copy on 2097 "A" and a super weak "X" on 4094.5

Today "X" is pretty strong and pretty good copy on "A" too

Edit: adding in Hexie on 4096.24   weak with fading

weak "X" on 4094.5 that is clear enough and has minimal fading. Will check a few others but nothing so far. Sometimes I just leave the radio on one frequency to see if something rises up out of the noise.

So tonight I tuned in WWV at 10 MHz and it was centered on the Elecraft KX3 radio and on the PX3 panadaptor with a +/- 1 KHz span on the display I then tuned to the "A" beacon and tuning to 2097.3 KHz centered the carrier.

Brandon, I've never used a WiNRADIO product but I'm wondering if tuning it 1KHz high to 2098.3 KHz was to get a 1KHz tone out for the CW audio?

Here is an image showing a +/- 1 KHz span centered on 2097.3 KHz. Spectrum at the top and waterfall at the bottom. The small dashes are the whole  dit-dit-dah

4094.5 KHz  "X" beacon coming in decently

2097.3 KHz "A" beacon is pretty strong with a little fading

Local rain has cleaned the air out a bit. I am hearing "X" pretty well on 4094.5 KHz

2097.3 KHz  "A" is booming in with minimal fading. Normally it is down in the noise floor of my PX3 panadaptor but tonight it is peaking about 22 dB above the noise.

4094.5  "X" is weak but readable



Edit to correct freq to 4094.5 KHz
