Joe, VO1NA et al,
I've been trying since late November to get a good copy of your beacon
on 184.509 kHz. Still don't quite have it, but last night was my best
yet. The 0747Z, 1/11/09 ARGO display clearly shows your "NA" and the
"VO1" characters are partially in there as well. I used QRSS-60, slow
for the capture even though I understand you are transmitting QRSS-75
(that's not a choice with my version of ARGO) and the two good dashes
indeed appear to be just shy of 4 minutes in duration. My ARGO capture
compares well with that of Brian, CT1DRP shown on your web site. Thanks
for keeping the beacon going.
73,
Garry
