I started copying you at 11.20 PM.  Signal is weak but readable. Copied by ear....

 WD2XSH/10 very strong on 508.003, RST a good 599

You are peaking 45 to 50dB over the noise tonight in NE Ohio

Last night the QRN barrage let up a bit, and W2XSH/10 came through weakly

Armchair copy in Foxboro, Receiver is an old RAL, newly put in service

WD2XSH/10 heard at 2148 Eastern in New Hampshire

Marginal copy on 509.000 improving now 2/3/9 here in EM50 Long Beach, Ms.    14Oct06:  you you were solid

copy by ear most of the night

Attached 2 screenshot of 508 kHz taken last night. The screenshot with the higher resolution shows a frequency

change of 1 Hz for about 20 minutes 00:42-01:02.

I'm very glad Dex, the first 500 kHz ham signals that I receive here. .dashes are visible on 10 sec ARGO as well.

Last night I captured, a 40 sec screen with Spectran,  ID of Dex at 5 wpm with quality "M" ( using LF terms).

I am hearing a strong c/w signal on 508 kHz... This is the first of the new operations in this part of the band that

I have heard. "VVV VVV VVV de WD2XSH-10 WD2XSH-10", with a continuous tone between each repetition.

Also clear on built in ferrite antenna in the Sony 2010

Finally heard my first XSH station tonight. /10 is coming in 529 here at 0311Z on 508 kHz. 

Nice sig!  I'll give you a 549 tonight - good signal at 0235Z

WD2XSH/10 copied 5-3 last nite at 0153 and 0345Z on 508 KC

noise was running S1-3. Using G5RV into Jupiter. Best XSH DX so far.

Very strong signal here in Maryland FM19rc!!  Equipment used RFSpace SDR-14 with Wellbrook ALA100 Loop antenna.

0500Z 11 Oct checked 600 mtrs.  /10 was very loud easy arm-chair copy at 7 dBm above the nasty local noise floor of

90 dBm/75. My grid is EM13tb.  Receiver is a Cushman CE-24

Here's how Dex sounds at EM13tb using just an Icom 735and a little 6-inch tuned ferrite loopstick antenna on my desktop. 

And his signal is nearly twice as loud now as it was when I recorded this. Note:  I've used my sound processing software

to speed-up the tempo of the CW in order to reduce file size and also to show that Dex is QSO quality tonight.

Using a modified Small Wonder Labs DSW-40  (DSW-600)  tuned via DSWTUN95 software + PC Card interface and 80m

endfed wire which is tuned using the tapped tuning coil and 300 pF fixed cap (180 pF onboard + 120 pF external) of the

Heathkit Electronic Workshop 11, aka model SK-40. DSW-40 'T1' (Mouser 42IF123) replaced using Mouser 42IF103

RST -- 339 with lots of QRN.  Signal strength very steady at S3, minimal QSB. RX -- IC706MKIIG Ant -- 130 ft sloper, top at

68 ft, bottom at 8 ft.sloping to the south.

WD2XSH/10 is Q5 copy and S5 signal strength on the meter right now. Amazingly loud signal. Have been listening for

about an hour and signal has remained loud during that time

Copied the CW from /10.  You have well over 10 microvolts of signal here in Manassas, VA. Antenna is a stealthy dipole

up about 30 feet

Very good signal, 579 in some heavy qrn.  Receiver is Icom IC-R75 with both  455Khz and 9Mhz 250 Hz filters plus a

Timewave DSP 599zx.  Antenna is 380 foot wire in an inverted-U shape about 100’ high at the most and ending at the

water.  listened for over an hour and the signal got better and better     Click to hear .wav file

Caught you last night with ARGO. I was centered on 508

Lewis's recording of WD2XSH/10 calling /6 on 30 Oct 06

Your beacon on 508 khz was Q5 on my 35 ft wire.  My 706mkiig is very poor at receiving signals below 1600 khz. 

Even with the preamp off the CW was Q5.

RST 579 no QSB Rig: Icom 706MKIIG Antenna: 126 foot wire.

Am hearing you on 508 kHz at 6:22 AM EDST with Q5 signals on normal speed CW.  About 15 db above noise floor. 

Receiver is a softrock SDR , antenna is a 160 M dipole fed as a vertical

Earable! whoa if I had TX I could QSO no problem at all.  Equivallent of a QRP report 559. 100% copy except on deepest

of nulls.  Using IC-751A no upconverter, 280' loop at 25' no tuning or antenna compensation just half the balanced line

stuck in the back of the reciever - This will improve soon : )   Click to hear .wav file

I am copying /10 near 505.95 solid most of the time on Argo reading the dots and dashes easily     /10 did fade out a few

times, but always seemed to come back even louder.   (WD2XSH/10 was sending 5 wpm CW with Argo in NDB mode)

Your 569 to 589 here in Kansas city area. My receiver is a Ten Tec RX320D with 70 feet of wire.

I heard you in QSO with  Dale at 10:21 your local time (sending) temp  40 deg and ant a 95 foot vertical. You signals were

quite good as I was using no filtering such as a narrow CW filter or even an audio filter. The rig is a FRG-100, 3 foot square homebrew loop inside my apartment...(btw, the loop wasn't even resonant at the time

I am hearing your beacon again at 7:20 p.m. your local time.  signals were subject to deep QSB w/sigs ranging from

RST 589 down to inaudible. Half of the time I could copy the audio with the 'phones sitting on the bench

 /10 easy CW copy.  R75, longwires

Received WD2XSH/10 ON 506 KCS, SIG IS NOW QSA 3 TO 4, VERY NICE AT 0813 ZULU..AND VERY Q5,

IC 718 WITH THE PREAMP ON USING A 135 FT CF ZEPP AS A TEE ANT, 160 CONFIG

I copied your beacon this morning at 5:45 AM local time. I'm using an Icom IC718 transceiver and 40M dipole, which

isn't the best antenna for 600M, but I did copy the beacon 549

I copied your beacon at 506.02 KHZ. Solid copy good and loud, I used my 160 double bazooka antenna and you are solid

copy.  12:20Z was the time into the log.  Sounds Great!

Copy your beacon "loud and clear" this rainy evening here in the Tri-Cities. Signal on the IC 706 did not move the S meter, 

however it was much stronger than the background noise. Pre-amp in RX OFF. Aerial -160 meter inverted L (with radial
system) remotely tuned from shack for multiband operation. Aerial is 50ft high and 120 ft long running east/west.

Began receiving your signals on 505.95 kHz at 0144UT, today Nov. 8 (UT)  Finally achieved copy on the web address at

0258.  Using Icom R75 with 250 Hz passband , active preselector and, in the end, a binaural audio filter.  Best antenna

was a 1200' sloper going NE up adjacent mountain.  QRN level was set arbitrarily at S3 and your sig played tag with it,

some cycles of the message inaudible, others peaking QRK 4 for brief periods. "North Carolina" was often armchair

copy but I've yet to get the grid square.

WD2XSH/10 TIME: 0345Z TO 0350Z Nov 11, 2006 FREQ: 508KHZ  RST: 599 MODE: CW, IC-746PRO, antenna is a 40meter/80meter fan dipole without a tuner at that frequency.  The signal was excellent

I heard your beacon on 508 khz id was WD2XSH/10  Nov 11,2006  10:50 utc signal weak  rec on a

Kenwood R-1000 ant 200 ft long wire

While working with a small ferrite loop design for 400 to 500KHz, i stumbled upon your experimental beacon.  S8 to 9 peak

I was using an FFR-221 LF receiver.

Copied your beacon 559 at 0545-0600, Dec 16, 2006 on 506.  My antenna is a 204 ft G5RV on the northern slope of  Paris Mountain. 

The receiver was an Icom 718.  I experienced no qsb during the 15 minutes I was copying the signal.

RST 225 to 115 in just 20 minutes 0715-0735 hrs 16 Dec 2006 Saturday morning 1215-1235 UTC Zero beat frequency using ICOM 756 PRO III in LSB mode was 506 KHz As the sun came up the signal faded quickly. Weather here is clear, 40 deg F. By 0740 the signal vanished

I have only been monitoring 600m for a few nights, and yours is the best signal I've heard yet

Receiver - WJ-8710A, Antenna - 28 foot vertical with 10 ft tophat, with 80m L-network at the base.

(click to hear 72 kb MP3 file of John's excellent copy)

You're the first 600M station I've heard, after trying off and on for a few months.  I mainly do MW and LW DXing now due to space restrictions for an antenna.  I have a lot of local noise on the lower broadcast band and LW, but your signal made it through well, usually a 569 but fading at time to about a 339.  Drake R8B, Quantum Phaser, Kiwa Loop, Quantum QX Pro Loop, copper pipe loop, and CB whip.

You're being received quite well in east central New Jersey using a 20-turn 57" x 63" indoor air-core resonant loop antenna and a

quadrature phasing receiver of my own design. (click to hear 143kb mp3 of John's copy)

Copy your beacon on 506.15 kHz, RST: 579, Rig: Icom R75 rcvr, Ant: About 1200 ft of wire

Monitored wd2xsh.10, with qsb 359 to 589 on 0.507.  RX: IC 756Pro II.  Ant: trap dipole for 160,

approx 120 ft long with 160 loading coils

Just wanted to let you know that I have heard you, on about a dozen occasions, or so, here at my Between, GA, QTH

(167-acre farm) Using only a Grundig Satellit 800, with a 75' random wire (and, sometimes with only the internal ferrite

ant.), I am able to hear you well, and consistantly.   

"Officially,"  01/06/07, at 23:20UTC I heard you, on 507kHz, with a signal strength of 5x7.  Damn fine work!

Signal Q5 most of time. Sometimes fades into the noise with very slow QSB.  Rx on IC756Pro3 with 470 ft beverage 7 ft off ground. No preamp.
