[Lowfer] Frequency usage question

[N8OOU]

Charlie: Thanks for your guidance and input on the operating frequency 
for the WmBeacon. While the beacon is rock bound, it can be moved around 
a little also.

There was no documentation included with the transmitter, and it was 
completely hand / home made from Mr. Ashlock's design. The exciter / 
keyer works perfectly.  But before I put it on-line, I want to have it's 
theory of operation and schematic documented.  If (or when) disaster 
hits, I will be able to repair it and not have to wonder how it's 
suppose to work.  It will likely be a couple more weeks before I attempt 
an on-air test.
