Anyone else hearing this beacon? "NEED". I've been listening to the newly
authorized hams on the 600M band and this beacon shows up.
I'm in western NC- 7' shielded/amplified loop + homebrew RX.

Hello Dale,

In Yahoo Groups NDBLIST, there is a pretty good thread about W2DXSH/20
(strange call) transmitting test signal on 506kHz. I did not see anything
about NEED. The tests are coming from near Oregon. This beacon group would
know, and would like to know, about any transmissions in this frequency
area.

Sorry, the call is WD2XSH not W2.....

Hi Al,
I am active on the 600M reflector- so far no one knows where this is coming
from. Definitely not part of the experimental group.
All of the experimental group have the same call followed by a / and 2
digits.

Tonight (2006 09 28) at about 23:30Z I am picking up a very weak signal
on 503.6KHz. I am rearranging my radio room and antennas, so I am
using my field radio and antenna. A DX398 and a random wire, about 40'
long, at a 6' elevation.

There is too much QRN to tell if there is any modulation on the
carrier.

I am located between Lexington KY and the KY river.

OK Terry,
Keep me informed if you will. NEED has been heard in TN, NC and OH.
WD2XSH/10 is now 589 copy on 504.5 KHz. 0321 UTC.
Can't wait for the season to quiet down and see how loud the west coast WD2
stations are.

I wonder if this is actually the "inverse" of something else?

Plotting it out on a spreadsheet it looks like the inverse of "JI".
Which really doesn't make any more sense than "NEED"!

Hi Doug,
Interesting concept. On AM though, the 1000KHz tone clearly spells out NEED.
In there again last night after sunset.
I was hoping enough readers of this group would try to copy it that we could
find its location. If anyone hears it during the daytime, please report with
your 6 character grid square
