NCDXF/IARU Beacon Transmission Schedule Each beacon transmits every three minutes, day and night. This table gives the minute and second of the start of the first transmission within the hour for each beacon on each frequency. A transmission consists of the callsign of the beacon sent at 22 words per minute followed by four one-second dashes. The callsign and the first dash are sent at 100 watts. The remaining dashes are sent at 10 watts, 1 watt and 100 milliwatts. Search the DX Summit Database for recent reception reports by callsign. If you can hear a beacon now, send a report to DX Summit.
