Bob, NK9M, and I braved the sleet/snow this afternoon and replaced the
original 185.185 kHz QRSS30 setup with new hardware programmed for
185.2993 kHz QRSS60. A larger deep discharge battery and larger solar
panel now power the beacon so it can run untethered. The antenna/ground
system are unchanged so it's still probably pretty anemic in ERP but
work on that will have to wait for better weather.
