[Lowfer] I am back

[Jerry Parker]

Hi everyone.

Some 20 years ago I ran the "OWR" Lowfer Beacon out on 50 acres

near Paso Robles California.

My coil was 60/40 litz on a huge 3  x  4 foot pvc/plywood form with a

6 inch pvc variometer.

When I placed the whole system up on top of over 200 radials made out of

surplus cable tv hardline each over 100 feet long I held a antenna party
out here

with the likes of Mike Medeke, Cliff Buschard, Jim Erickson, Bob Horton and
several others.

OWR was heard all over the western US and I was able to work the fellows up
in

the San Jose/San Fran area as well as Utah, Nevada and Arizona.

Unfortunately the land sold shortly and OWR became a Beacon of the past.

Here I am several years later and I recently purchased 40 acres near
Creston California.

I am in the process of getting reacquainted with the band and toying with
the idea of

putting up another OWR.

If everyone could help me with a list of current Beacons/modes that are up
on the air

I would appreciate it.

I am looking for a complete set of Western updates and any current info on
things.

Thanks ahead of time to everyone for your help.
