Jan Mayen 50 Mhz beacon heard in Ireland



This is JX7SIX, the 6 metre beacon on Jan Mayen Island, as heard at my station in Drogheda, Ireland, at 21:45z (10:45pm local time). It was weak enough but audible. This is the first time I've ever heard anything so far north on 6 metres. Of course it helps now that I have a three-element beam on 50 Mhz.

  1. I worked OX3KQ about half an hour after your spot, if it wasn't for your spot I wouldn't have bothered to check 6 so thank you.

    #95 on 6m for me,
