22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / Mr. X Beacon up!
« on: March 22, 2023, 1916 UTC »
Hi All,
After a long period of 'radio silence', the Mr. X beacon is back up and running at 13565.69 KHz on solar/battery power.
Dormancy was caused by loss of antenna supports here (Emerald Ash Borer infestation in the northeast ). Operation should be continual at this point, barring any mishaps.
Antenna is a 20m 1/4 ground plane. Elevation 880 ft ASL. Reports welcomed.
Cheers,
Chris KQ2RP
