Arrived home at around 11:30am after been out walking, rig was already on 144.420 in anticipation of ES and the beacon was audible, Tim G4LOH alerted right away me that he was hearing the beacon , delighted to hear it at 529 signals via tropo, at 1st I thought it was ES, beacon was in/out for abt 3/4 hour, called CU8AO who was qrv, he heard me but I did not hear him strong enough to work him, not to worry, im happy to have heard this beacon via tropo for the 1st time, well done to Tim who worked Fred, during the afternoon I have heard weakly a few times.
Azores beacon is up and running since last summer, only time I have heard it until today was during the Perseids last August and that was just a few bursts.
