[Lowfer] 497.0 Mhz WG2XCT QRSS3 beacon

[pbunn]

I am getting close to being ready for transmitting with my experimental license.

My plans are to start with a QRSS3 beacon running approximately 100 watts to a vertical antenna. 

I am planning to use the frequency 497.00 Khz unless that is a problem for the existing 630 meter users. Any comments would be appreciated.

I have the  keyer,  exciter and transmitter working and am finishing the output filter this week. The antenna is next and I will probably very inefficient at the start of testing. Plans are for eventually a 60 foot vertical.

Again, any comments would be appreciated. I am frequency mobile so if 497.0 is a problem let me know or suggest something better. I am limited to 495 - 510 Khz.
