Hi there, don't read the frequency on the rig, this narrow channel marker signal carrier is actually 0.8 kHz. Great to record this signal for the first time.

Recorded in Oxford, UK on 10/05/26 at 23;27 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.
