[NLRS] 1296.274 beacon reactivated

[Steve Gross-N4PZ]

OK David

I will point one at Mpls and one east.

It will take a few days since I need to move the loopers up on the main vertical mast from where it's buried in the H frame for my 4 x 32 foot 432 array.

I will see how much more power I can get up to them as well. I have some bricks but I think they all max out at 15 watts on 1296. I'm probably getting abt 7 watts up there at the moment.

N8EM has a 432.304 bcn on a ten story bldg. near Madison so I don't think it's worth putting my 432.320 bcn up agn.

Comments?

How about one pointed toward the Twin Cities (and hence toward me in between.....)?

Hello Guys


For your information I have reactivated my beacon on 1296.274.

It is 2 55 element loopers at 70 feet pointed east from en52gb.

It's only about 5 watts but I have a brick which makes almost 15 watts which I will add in a week or so.

I will also try to turn it off during the night as nobody will be listening at 3 AM.

Since it is 2 loopers I could point them in different directions. Any thoughts?
