Do you want a Facebook Page for KiwiSDR?

John, What about a Facebook Page for the KiwiSDR? Or do you prefer to keep all comments and discussions focused here? For example, I would post trivia of the sort in the attached image to a Facebook Page, but it might get a bit cluttered here. The image shows the illusive beacon "A". Where it comes from and where it goes, no one seems to know. Any information about it?

    "A" on 2097 is one of HF pirate beacons. Some of the best info is on HF Underground: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,9478.0.html

    For a discussion of military "letter/marker beacons", some of which are in the Kiwi dx list, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_beacon

    I personally boycott Facebook, but you guys can obviously do what you want. But I won't be contributing there if you do.
    At some point we'll need subcategories for the Kiwi discussions here.

    John, So no developer sanctioned Facebook KiwiSDR page then. A shortwave comments and questions category would be nice for me.

    So what about WD2XVN. The FCC shows it licensed to the Boeing Company for experimental research @400.0375 MHz but I haven't found other frequencies allocated. The little video below shows a beacon bearing the call sign WD2XVN and some other information.
