I've just spent two days updating the RSGB's 28MHz beacon list. I used the reverse beacon network and logged/updated the beacon list accordingly. This takes a lot of time as many of the "spots" are misread and have to be checked individually.
Beacons heard over the last three years are highlighted in red. I'm now happy that it is pretty up-to-date. The RBN has a beacon listing, but it is way out of date - GB3RAL is still listed and that hasn't been on for years.
I think this is the best way as it reflects beacons that are actually transmitting and not just listed. The full beacon list can be found on the propagation section of the RSGB website here: http://rsgb.org/main/files/2023/03/G3USFs-Worldwide-List-of-HF-Beacons.pdf

Very good! Never thought 10 meters can be so good.

Hi Steve. I've started updating my 10m beacon list too, recording the ones I hear (MP3 'beaconbytes') and noting their actual callsigns and messages as sent on air (e.g. many have /B, some /BCN), plus the frequency as accurately as I can determine with my present setup. The idea is to make it easier to tentatively identify very weak beacons where we only copy the occasional characters on QSB peaks. See www.TinyURL.com/10mBeacons ... and feel free to use/copy any of the info, particularly for those I've copied in 2023. Others listed in grey text may be QRT, but I keep them in the list just in case they magically reappear some day. 73, Gary ZL2iFB
ReplyDeleteThat’s great Gary. I will definitely take a look. Regards, Steve G0KYA

ReplyDeleteSorry, but that isn't appearing on the RBN at present. If it does I will add it to the list. Steve
