[NLRS] 432.280 BEACON NEW ANTENNA

[Steve N4PZ]

Hello All

Thanks to N0IRS I have installed a new antenna on the 432.280 beacon. He donated a pair of big wheels for 432.

It is at 70 feet and fed with 60-80 watts at the antenna. The old one was pointed southwest and only 45 feet high.
This one is omnidirectional and the highest antenna I have.

Please let me know how it does compared to the old one at n4pz at live.com.

I will continue to run it from 6 AM to 9 AM central and 6 PM to midnight central time.

I will work to get it operational from 6 AM until midnight as I get my solar/wind power system optimized.

The 1296.274 beacon continues as before and consists of two loop yagis with 5 watts into each at 45 feet.
One pointed at Minneapolis and the other pointed at Kansas City.

73 and good DXing
