22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / QIW Up On 13.5623 mhz
« on: April 18, 2020, 0136 UTC »
This is a slight change from the previous frequency.  The antenna is a 1/2 wave dipole up 20 feet. The location is Fresno, CA grid DM06du.  Power is house 110VAC regulated to 3VDC input.   The challenge still applies:  the first person to send me a verified reception report consisting of a audio file or screen shot of the waterfall will get a Parker pen.  My other hobby is collecting ballpoint and fountain pens.

Awesome.  I knew it was only a matter of time that a pirate used the "Radio Corona" ID. lol

Cancel that.  I think this is the correct schematic: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12Yjb3Vw2Dr0Qa4AUOGLJELPkQlfi7KyV/view

I bought (and received) one of these kits from E-Bay.   Unfortunately,  no schematic was provided with the kit.  Does anyone have a link to a good schematic, pdf, etc?

Huh? / Re: Radio Corona?

A pirate station IDing as Radio Corona would be appropriate.

With all of the over-reaction to Covid-19, I wouldn't be shocked if we here a pirate called Radio Corona or something similar online. LOL

As information, the QIW beacon has been moved to a slightly higher frequency of ~13.56230 mhz, subject to standard crystal variation, and the antenna location has been changed. Essentially, the transmitter has moved from a temporary location on my electronics workbench to an outside location.  The antenna is a 1/2 wave dipole.  The same competition applies:  the first person to provide proof of reception through either a screenshot or recording will receive a QSL along with a nice Parker or Cross ballpoint pen.  I collect  ballpoint and fountain pens as another hobby...much to the objection of the wife.

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm using the Black Cat Systems 22 meter beacon kit.  My antenna is a 1/2 wave dipole.

22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / 13.56365 Mhz Beacon QIW Up and Running
« on: December 26, 2019, 2320 UTC »
This beacon is up and running from my QTH in grid DM06 on approx 13.56365 Mhz.   Its running 5 WPM CW "QIW".  Let me know if you receive its signal.  The first one to have proof (screen shot of signal or audio file) will receive a nice QSL consisting of a Parker ballpoint pen. I collect pens as one of my other crazy hobbies.
