Well thats what I thought, until I realised it was the same call over and over again, and as I was tuned in at 50040, this is where the beacons transmit.
This is a time when I wish I knew my Morse, the speed of the code being sent was too quick to jot down, so I pressed DM780, part of ham radio Deluxe into action, and after a few attempts, it decoded...
G B 3 M C..
Google is most certainly your friend and soon I was looking at Location of GB3MBC (IO70OJ)
The distance from my QTH is 55 miles.
It turns out that this callsign is used for a number of beacons in the Cornwall area, including 4m,2m,70cm,23cm and 3cm.
I cant say I have ever heard this beacon before.
