22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / Re: YCPA 13567
« on: February 15, 2020, 2320 UTC »Hello there,
Nice to see another beacon in Pennsylvania. Grid FN00 Allegheny County. My beacon Abby is running around 135564.9 frequency change from 13566.9 due to changes in components. Today try to run 100% solar.
Have fun.
Awesome! I saw your posting for Abby and have been tuning in hope to catch it. I am also quite curious of your solar experiment. I have plans drawn to feed mine with solar as well, using series 18650 batteries to keep it operational at night with hopeful charging from the solar cells as well.
Eventually I may expand to a more robust system, multiple beacon boards, different bands, controlled based on time and via an arduino. Almost like NCDXF, but single location. This is definitely a few months out yet. I am still learning this building stuff, tried to build my own, failed but learned where I failed based off the 22m kit, so it's back to more experimentation .
I hope to catch Abby when everything aligns perfectly for me to do so
