Lightning racket has picked up the last couple of days here in NE IL but
it's September, a month with an "r" in it, so with the help of Bob,
NK9M, the lowfer beacon "SIW" is again QRV. The frequency is 185.2993
kHz, just below beacon "MP" on 185.301 kHz, and it is sending QRSS-60,
24/7 (assuming the solar panel gets enough sunlight to keep the battery
charged). Hopefully with a new PA and improved variometer it will get
out better than last year. Still have to work on the ground system so
there's plenty of room for improvement.
