[Lowfer] W0AH/B now on 1802.75

Sat, 12 Jul 2003 15:21:31 -0600

Bob, VE3OSZ and Tom, K1KI, alertly pointed out that W1AW is on 1818.  Tom=
 said the band plan was for 160M beacons on 1999-2000, and suggested I mo=
ve it there or below 1801.  Searched through my box of crystals, closest =
I could find was 1802.75.  The crystal isn't very active, so my input is =
down to 30 mw with an ERP well below 10 mw ERP, very unlikely to be heard=
 outside of my town in summer. I may have time to fiddle with my 2N2222 o=
scillator feedback and tank circuit tomorrow and bring the power back up =
to a rock crushing 65 or 100 mw input.  If anyone objects to 1802.75, I w=
ill take the beacon off the air before Monday when I am moving it back to=
 1695 KHz as a MedFER beacon.  If anyone copies it, you win the golden ea=
rs award!

Subject: [Lowfer] "AH" MedFER beacon from 1695 KHZ to 1818 KHZ through we=
ekend

My MedFER antenna is down for some additional toploading.  In the meantim=
e, I'm running 65 mw to my 50' Hytower (less than 15 mw ERP) on 1818 KHz,=
 IDing as W0AH/B.   =20
HISTORY: Running less than less than 10 mw ERP last September, my 160M be=
acon (using the MedFER antenna) was heard from coast to coast on a couple=
 of quiet nights.  Running 1 mw ERP, I made several contacts on 160M last=
 September.  With July's QRN, it may be impossible to hear the W0AH beaco=
n.  If anyone does, please email me.   =20
