[Lowfer] Need/Interest For a New Beacon?

[N8OOU]

Gedas,

If you have the interest go on air with a Part 15 beacon, by all means 
jump in with both feet! As best that I can tell there is room within the 
Argo screen at 185.3, or you could set up shop with JH and KE down at 
181.8. I bet Garry wouldn't mind company at 185.1.

JH is running a beacon and a 185.3 grabber at his location, I am testing 
a grabber on 181.8 to see if it will cooperate with my beacon. In my 
first couple tests I think I saw very small bits of KE, I'm trying again 
this evening.
