Years ago I got started in this part 15 beacon stuff running a Medfer Beacon on 1675 khz with an ID of "D". Back in those days there was only the LOWDOWN a little monthly publication that the Medfer guys reported what beacons they heard. I would get phone calls from other beacon operators
when "D" was being heard. It seems so often that the Hifer beacon operators today don't do much listening and or reporting what they hear if they hear anything.
It really takes Listeners who report what they hear to make it worth having a beacon operating. So let me thank everyone of you guys that have spent some time listening to the 22 meter band. More importantly that you actually reporting what you hear on this web site. Chris was kind to let me start a page here on HFU that supports the HIFER movement. I thank him also. John Davis spends his own money on the LWCA.ORG web site that supports Long Wave, Medfer and Hifer beacon operation and I thank him also.
Listeners keep the reports coming into HFU. 73 Bill in Pine Colorado PCO 13563.55 Khz
