Morning Beacon Report 1000z
« on: August 26, 2009, 1041 UTC »
A was faint but audible at 1000z, gone by 1040z.

OK on 3450 really nice at around 1040z.

Blinky coming in nicely this morning 5157.6, starting to fade out around 1040z now that the Sun is rising.

My T2FD runs east to west, and isn't as tilted as I would like. So that might be why I get such good reception from the FL beacons?

I get A pretty well here usually - I understand it is running several watts?
