[Lowfer] Western Updates

[cvest at cox.net]

Sure would be nice to get a large number of lowfer and medfer beacons from all over North America on the air for this season .
It would be a good learning experience and tuneup of getting familiar with MF and LF bands in advance of us getting our 470 kHz. 
allocation .

I have been inactive on part 15 for a while now , but am working right now to get multi mode DDS/ GPS locked beacons ready to
put on the air very shortly . Still trying to finalize the best possible Medfer antenna .

If all of the North American members of these groups would put a beacon on both bands , perhaps we could get some much 
needed publicity .

It still amazes me the number of people that don't realize these bands exist and that they can use them as well as them learning
that there are people already using them . Good stable inexpensive designs are out there which about anyone can afford and
there is certainly enough room for everyone to put a beacon on .

There is just far too little publicity about what is possible . Even if they can't manage a beacon loading coil , they can at least listen
as long as there is enough activity to keep them interested . Sure would be nice to see a record number of beacons on this 
season !!
