Brandon...

I went to a local lookout (Terry Fox) in EN58jl, your 10 ghz beacon was S-8 there, nice signal and  it really surprised me! I think it will work nicely around Superior.  At the home qth as mentioned before, your 432 beacon is S-4. Thanks again to you  and Bob K2YAZ.

>>Hello Everyone, I just completed the installation of a pair of beacons on 432.311mhz and 10368.315+/- Mhz, EN57vi. Any reports will be appreciated. These beacons should illuminate Lake Superior well from this location. 73 de N8PUM Brandon  Thanks to K2YAZ Bob for supplying the beacon on 10ghz.

>>OK Eddie, I just got home from the Keweenaw. I was hearing the 432 beacon right into Keweenaw bay, strong. And heard the 10 ghz beacon for 10 miles or so until heavy tree cover. Then heard it strong in Baraga, Michigan across the bay, about 35 miles south of the beacon. Listen for it around 10368.315 Mhz or so. I am hearing it on 10368.318Mhz. 432 beacon is 3 watts to a turnstile, and the 10 ghz beacon is FSK at 200 mW with a 32 slot omni antenna. It is the same site as the 147.315 repeater on Mt. Horace Greeley, EN57vi 1600 feet elevation at the old US Air force radar station. Thanks for the first report and please spread the word and send reports on the 10ghz beacon. Thanks to the Keweenaw County Repeater Association  for access. 73' Eddie de N8PUM Brandon P.S. I'll send pictures of the beacons soon.
