I thought that beacons were supposed to be in the range 28150 to 28300.  I 
hear some two-letter beacons and other things in the CW band sometimes. 
And, since I was home with a cold and the solar flux is fairly high, I heard 
an over-the-horizon radar that is supposedly in Iran on 28600.  It moves 
around on frequencies divisible by 50 KHz, is 100 KHz wide, and consists of 
alternating pulses at about 870 and 310 Hz.  Best way to identify this is to 
switch to AM.  I heard it somewhere around 1500Z.  Also worked another new 
country, Cameroon, TJ3SN on 10 CW around 2030Z.  Band is somewhat open to 
Japan and UA0 tonight and covered most of Europe this morning.

I would think they are CW beacons, but I always thought they were up around
28.200 or so.

Okay, guys, what in the helx is the deal on 10 meters???? I have been
hearing a variety of what I consider very weird signals for quite a while,
and I cannot figure it out. I just tuned around on 10 meters around 28.000
through about 28.100 and I hear signals like:



K7FL K7FL K7FL/b cn85ss



Then, it repeats again over and over. This is just one example but I hear
several other similar weird signals. Some are sending a series of V's and
some I hear a series of E's. This is all in CW. I suspect I should know what
is going on, but I don't. So, can someone here educate this ol' guy?
