It's W3CCX/B (-..- rather than .--.), belonging to the Mt. Airy VHF Radio
Club in Southampton, PA. They call themselves the Pack Rats. The beacon is
in FM29jw, (.--- rather than .----). Remember, grid squares are two
capitol letters, a two-digit number and two lower-case letters. Their web
site, with a list of beacons in the area, is packratvhf.com.
