FL beacon 13555.520 KHz CW

[Dag]

I have activated a very low power milliwatt beacon on 13555.520 KHz sending  "FL" in slow speed CW (QRSS3) where each dit is 3 seconds long.

The antenna is a dipole in my attic and the sunspot minimum is nearly upon us, so it's not a great time to launch QRP signals, but there's still some good propagation occurring on 22 meters.

I also have a FSKCW beacon "FL" on 13555.465 KHz which will be temporarily deactivated while I test the CW circuit on 13555.520 KHz.

Thanks for the info Dag. Nice to see another beacon pop up - I'll listen out.

Do also check the HiFER page at LWCA.org as there are several members that listen and would have a good chance of catching your FL.

FYI there is another operator listed on 13,555.465 kHz using FL.

Cheers

Thanks Ed.  The other "FL" as listed on lwca.org in FSKCW3  mode is also my hifer beacon.  I am putting the FSKCW3 beacon to bed for awhile and cultivating the QRSS3 CW beacon as described above.

A report from John on LWCA shows that NC is on the same frequency my FL.  If there's going to  be collision between NC and FL, I'll move FL to a new frequency. I am using EPSON programmable oscillators , one of which is 13555.520 KHz-- the other is about 40 Hz lower I think.

Thanks for comment Ed.

Thanks Dag...

I realised it must be you shortly after posting. Hopefully will get some listening time soon.

NC reaches California regularly, I am sure FL has a chance.

Best regards,
