On 01/17, Saturday evening, on 1650 Khz from 20:30 CST to 20:35 ( 02:30-02:35UTC) heard what sounded like morse code. Signal was very weak but sounded like MEI or possibly MIE. First character is definitely an "M" followed by two short "dot" characters. Code was medium speed with a several second pause between code groups. And, no I don't have a recording of this. At first I thought I am imaging the code but later suspect this may have been a beacon.
At that time 1650 was dominated by Spanish, no sign of WHKT, CINA or KCNZ. Does any one know if there is a beacon on or close to 1650khz? I recall years ago there was a MER beacon in the upper band from South America. Do they still exist today? If so this would be a good target during upcoming sunspot maximum in a few years (good southern CX). Tom Jasinski Shorewood, IL Drake R8A and Quantum loop.
