[Elecraft] XG3 6M beacon W7RDP/B on the air

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Hello Kevin,

Trust that all is well with you.

It crossed my mind that if your QTH is off the back of Doug's W7RDP/B Moxon 
and you are some distance apart, you might not hear his XG3 beacon because 
of the large f/b ratio that is typical of a Moxon. For example one of my 
wire 40m beams was a Moxon and was back on to Continental Europe (DLs, Is 
and such), and its f/b was a good 30ish db depending on the angle of arrival 
of the Eu signals.

73,
Geoff
