I did actually manage to figure out a way to get one of those software decoders
to decode a WAV file. I guess I just didn't look hard enough before.<BR><BR>The
text follows:<BR><BR>k1iig/b fn31ln<BR><BR>It's loud as hell on 432.200 MHz and
only on a teeny tiny little whip going into my SDR.<BR><BR>Apparently the guy
has got it going into a wheel (?) antenna up @ 450 ft. Now I'm not sure if this
is AGL or above sea level...<BR><BR>He has got the oscillator for the CW beacon
phase locked to some kind of standard. And what's really funny is, I can hear
the same beacon on 61 Mhz or so at much reduced SNR. Now, I wonder if this is
just some kind of mixing artifact from the SDR or I'm actually hearing his
reference signal that he might be transverting to different frequencies. He did
say he wants to get up a Ghz beacon soon. <BR><BR>Now I'm interested...doing a
little radio detective work so to say. I'm sure you all hear him loud and clear
on 432.200 Mhz, but is anyone hearing anything around 60-62 Mhz that is the
exact same beacon CW string??<BR><BR>I'm going to contact him and ask him for
some details of his beacon setup. If it turns out he has a 60 Mhz phase locked
signal somewhere that he is converting up or down to do his beacon...then I'm
going to be laughing my ass off that I can hear it so far away, and I think he'd
have to know about it.<BR><BR>Anyway...thought I'd ask for some help from the
crew in determining what's going on there...<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>John<BR><BR>
