[NLRS] EN-13 2m beacon

[Bill Ockert - ND0B]

Arliss,

Still hearing you this morning albeit very lightly.   For about an hour last 
night you were a constant S4.

I will echo Dennis's sentiments about sliding down in frequency, while I am 
pointed at your beacon the .293 beacon is S5 off the back and side of my 
antenna, if you get too close to that I will not hear you.

This is one of those things where you flat out cannot please everybody but 
again thanks for putting the beacobn on the air!!

I have a beacon in EN07lx near Ft. Totten, ND, on 144.293 (also 432.310), 
and it is very loud at my location in EN08oc.

Arliss, I like your beacon where it is on .297.  I heard it weakly several 
times last night and it was in and out of the noise this morning.  That's 
the ideal for me since it tests the limits of my system and gives a great 
reference for antenna pointing.

If you move it down a few KHz, I doubt I will hear it because of the strong 
signal I have on .293.  I've never head that WD9BGA beacon.  The beacon in 
EN15 near Johnson, MN, has been a mainstay here for years but lately I've 
had a buzzing noise on that frequency that has made it difficult to hear. 
The VE4ARM beacon in Austin MB on .280 or .281 is a good one for me but it 
doesn't tell me much about conditions to the south.

Whatever you decide, thanks for putting it on and spreading the word.

73,

Dennis NT0V
