[Lowfer] CURRENTLY ACTIVE BEACONS

[Paul Daulton]

Charlie, WMS is on but power is down about 10db near field. I will 
change out the tx in a couple of days. 

I cured the inbox problem. I checked the wrong box when I installed new 
service provider a couple of years ago. Had 1750 pages in trash folder 
that I thought had been deleted. Have to delete a page at a time but I 
now have space to receive new emails. 

Been busy with new project, a 75 meter ssb qrp rig see www.ozqrp.com . 
Nice rig from Australia. It has DDS. Low cost. It may be adaptable to 
600 meters. Rec and tx band pass filters are made with 10.7mhz Mouser 
If transformers. Changing to 455 khz ifts and changing the ferrite in 
the driver and final stages and making tx output filter should put it 
on 600 meters easily. Good for multimode ops. I am building a tone 
generator to use it on CW. 

will let you know when WMS is up to snuff.
