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.

Ed, KR3E
