The "d" at 7038 is growing

[Vin Cortina]

I've been meaning to ask about this for months.  Not continuously, but consistently, there is a CW signal which just sends the letter "d" over and over, with an occasional other letter.  This goes on day and night literally at any time.  Now today at about 7038 I hear my old "d" friend, and now somebody else at nearly the same frequency sending "p".  Does anyone have any idea what the heck is going on?

You're probably hearing Russian military HF channel marker or
propigation beacons.

G'day,

Interesting this.  Information I have gives the location of "K" to be
Khabarovsk, Asiatic Russia 150.83E, 59.63N but that is going back a few
years.

I must admit that Petropavlovsk Kamchatskiy possibly make more sense given
the nature of the beacon.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
