I am not sure if this is on CW or SSB with a CW i.d. but I thought some of
the list members might wish to participate, or observe:

===================================================
>From WGM Central Florida ====

This weekend I will be testing a CWID beacon on 4439.5 Mhz USB, with the
call sign WGM repeated 3 times every one minute.
On the even minute it transmits a Horizontal dipole, located 52 feet off the
ground, a NVIS design antenna.
On the odd minute it switched onto a 26 ft vertical antenna, with
counterpoise to resonate at the desire frequency and radials extending into
a 32000 sq. acre lake in Central Florida.
Lat/Long of this beacon is 27.23N 081.19.785 W
This beacon is design for marine vessels to get a better handle on the
serious propagation on short skip conditions.
Your assistance is much appreciated.
For this weekend only, you can send reports to [email protected] or to this
address.
Thank you,

Regards,
