Guys,
For the last few days HF Conditions have been poor during the day here in Brisbane. Today however I started checking the other lower bands then tuned into 27355 and here the old CB LSB call channel going off. So I raced up to 10 m and done a scan and a few CW Beacon staying were coming through nice and cleanly.
Because I'm no expert yet in morse :( I rely on CW Skimmer v1.6 to decode the signals. Well with no problems I decoded the following stations and with the help of "10 Meter Beacon List" got the correct frequency and have attached a recording of each:
1. 28256.5 khz - VK3RMH
2. 28260.0 khz - VK5WI
3. 28261.6 khz - VK2RSY
Well now that I found the 10m Bacon List, there was a stack of beacons listed round the world. A great feature of CW Skimmer is its water fall display. Slowly tuning the bands, I could see more stations appearing on the display and very very faint on the headphones. So thats what I'm do now, trying to get a few DX examples of the weaker signals. Lets see how I go.
4. 28268 khz - VK8VF and also heard 1khz down VK7RSC
The audio stream I feeding up to USTREAM when its compressed is doing obvious bad things with weaker CW signals. Sorry about that. Maybe one day I'll get a nice Digital record and record cleaner samples :)
5. 28270 khz - I could here a signal key on for 4 sec, key off for 4 sec. Looking at the list it will probably be "VK4RTL QTH TOWNSVILLE ,QLD" but with no station ID to be 100% sure.
Well it appears I can hear all from all of Australia except the western part. I'll tune in this afternoon when WA normally would come through fro 10/11m.
