Data on 1.775 Mhz ?

[mancow]

Any ideas what this could be? I'm not sure of the exact frequency but it appears to come in best at 1.775 Mhz with the FT897 set to DIG mode.

At least update your profile with your state or in your post list your location so people can help you track down a possible source.

On this Medfer freq, likely it's either a maritime nav beacon or a fishing or nav buoy. There are still a few of these out there, as I understand it. 73 Mike

Got it pretty loud over here tonight. 0300z

Yea, me too it's about an S4 but very clear. I wonder how much power is behind it?

I was just thinking the same question.

By description, this doesn't sound like a drift net beacon:

Too much QRN tonight, but I'm gonna keep an ear out for more.
