Alaska 10 meter Beacon

I initially activated an Alaska beacon at 2245Z on 14Jun06. It is now a
permanent beacon and will be operational full time.

The AL7FS beacon is on the air at a new and better location with a new
and better antenna (as of Dec 2, 2006).
KL7JGN, Lloyd Fuller, was instrumental in 1. arranging for the new QTH,
2. providing the new antenna and installing it, 3. providing the new
power supply for the beacon. Thank you, Lloyd!
