I suppose Rainy, like all of the other beacons, are a form of GeoCaching but with RF emanations... somebody is fixing and maintaining my:
HexY2K 6700/5 or so; - not 24/7 like on beginning evening 29 Dec. 1999 then we hiked back to White Tank CG to watch crazed Europeans in pointy hats all drunk singing NY Eve... SOMEBODY COOL is fixing it to this day as I have not been there since 2006...
Same for 6626.3 RAINY -- in a very AH-AH place (a'a') like when I lived on the Big Island 1986-1991--hard to get to or even if it is still there --or relocated after a long spell DOA when I thought it was, well, DOA...Rainy lives on well. - thanks for the head's up a couple of months ago - bombs in here somedays when skip is shorter...!!! THANKS... MB
