[80m] RE: [160m] Beacon Tribune N2XE

[Iowaguy]

Don't quit...I've had a ball reading the "Beacon Tribunes."  I haven't been
able to copy the beacon out here in Iowa on the four square but have enjoyed
it nevertheless.

I'm starting to get a lot of complaints, free advice and free education.
As soon as those outnumber the positive notes, I'll quit.  I think this is
a fun and enlightening aspect of the hobby... oh well...

Last night's code word was STROUD.  Seven stations copied the 5mW beacon
transmitting on 7.0315 MHz.  One in the UK, G3ROO, Ian, almost heard it!

Beacon will run at 20mW (let's see if Ian can dig it out) 7.0235 MHz
starting now and running all through SKN.

Happy Listening, Happy New Year, 73
