[Lowfer] 6R on 182.868 kHz is on-the-air from El Dorado Hills, Ca

[Bill Ashlock]

Congrats on the new beacon Ed. What's your antenna current at 1w input power to the final? (A good indicator of antenna efficiency and how well you will get out) Also what is your "slow CW" rate for the "6R"?

Have fun!

> Beacon "6R" is on-the-air from El Dorado Hills, Ca.  The beacon is on 182.868 kHz transmitting slow cw "6R + 4-second dash."  The antenna is a 38 foot vertical with a large 12 foot diameter top hat and 55 radials 34 to 43 feet in length.  Operation will be 24/7 unless I am receiving VLF.  I will be making improvements to the radial system in the near future.
