[Elecraft] 4-Meter (70 MHz) module possible for the KX3

[Dave]

Wikipedia is way out of date. For up to date info on 4m see www.70MHZ.org

Its currently QRV as WG2XPN/B on an all year round basis. Previously it had
a different callsign every year and was only allowed to transmit
may-spetember (Sp-E) season. It has already been heard by me in TX this
year(off the back of its beam!). Its best DX so far is Italy. Yes a lot more
Eu Countries have the band than 10 years ago. For beacon info see

According to Wikipedia:

  "United States has one experimental transmitter in Virginia transmitting
CW on 70.005 MHz. Call sign is WE9XFT." 

This may be stale information, but here's something about that station (a
beacon) from 3 years ago:
