With the latest beacon activity, I thought it might be nice to jump in. 
Since the 475 and 137 stations are presently mothballed waiting for more 
QSO activity, I'm unable to run the preferred FST4W-120 beacon. So, with 
some reluctance, I pulled the obsolete U3s out of the "salvage" box and 
fired it up on WSPR.

With a small amplifier it is putting out an estimated 25 mW EIRP +/- 
20dB ( the usual uncertainty). It is currently on +1450 at 2 min after 
the top of the hour and every 10 mins thereafter.

Last time I tried this QRP crap, no one heard me. Let's see if it works 
better this time.

I am still listening for FST4W-120 and WSPR during the off periods.
