Hello, Steve. Thanks for the notification. I am hopful that I can get my 
1296 system back on the air in June when I return to MN, so I would welcome 
the opportunity to try to hear your beacons.

Are they located at EN52gb or elsewhere? It's over 420 Km from there to my 
place in Apple Valley, but I'll never know if I can make it until I try...
