Beacon Info — 144.297 WD9BGA/B back on.
The strong EN53 beacon just SW of Madison, WI is back on. It had been off for about a week or 10 days. I always hear this beacon on about a 100 mile path. Sometimes it’s S0-S1, sometimes it’s as good as S7-S9. Thanks Vince N9NFB for using the “comment” feature to let us know. (Back on my Nov. 19th post)
I also regularly hear a beacon in EN43, La Crosse, WI. This is on 144.290 — WA9HCZ/B.
I would enjoy knowing what beacons you actually can hear. Use the comment feature and you’ll be helping others in different areas.
Here’s a beacon list: http://www.newsvhf.com/beacons2.html That’s for 144 and higher.
For 6 meters, use: http://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/por/50.htm
In fact, that www.newsvhf.com is a good link for V/UHF in general. Lots of info in there.
