Loggings > 22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons
BEER is on the air 13566.00
Beerus Maximus:
BEER is a Black Cat Systems 22m beacon kit (see: https://blackcatsystems.com/rf-products/22_meter_band_part_15_beacon_kit.html) 13566 is the area-ish.
It is assembled and on the air, transmitting from the Boston suburbs. As of 1/25/2018 the antenna is an end-fed 20M dipole not far off the ground. It is outdoors, but not far above the ground right now. Not entirely ideal, but it's possible someone may hear this beacon. Antenna improvements when the weather is warmer.
Valid reception reports will be rewarded with a nice printed QSL card. Submit reports to: beerusmaximus@gmail.com. An audio recording, SDR capture, or legitimate waterfall screen scrape will get you a card. Note, a postal mailing address is required to receive a card.
Once again, target frequency is 13566.0-ish.
Pigmeat:
Any luck yet? I've tried a couple of times but it's nothing but a buzz saw of noise here in that region of the band.
Beerus Maximus:
No reports yet. The beacon is on the air 24/7.
tesla:
I have been listening for it...in time it will show up in Colorado is my guess.
Finman:
Just wondering, how is a dipole "end fed"?
