W9WZJ 144.289 Beacon is ON.
11:20 Tuesday –
W9WZJ would like everyone to know he now has a beacon on 144.289 MHz. The location is EM69tr, or just west of Indianapolis. Darin’s beacon is 1 watt into a pair of M2 omni loops up at 27′. The loops are horizontally polarized (this is the custom on the SSB/CW portion of 2m.) Darin says with good conditions, the beacon has been heard as far away as EN33, southern MN. If you hear W9WZJ/B, I’m sure Darin would appreciate a report — his info is available at www.qrz.com
