>>   144.290 Jimmy, CW beacon out of La Crosse.   That's the
>> only one you'd regularly hear with your setup.   There used to
>> be a stronger one out of the Blue Mounds area, on 144.297 but
>> that has been QRT since at least February.  Hopefully it will
>> come back on.
>>   Guys in the central or northern parts of the state may hear
>> the N8PUM beacon on 144.278 from Ishpeming, in the U.P.
>> of MI.   I hear that one fairly often, but I have stacked yagis
>> up high.
>>
>>   Actually, I will send a link to a far larger listing of beacons
>> all across the USA.   While nights like last night are very unusual,
>> you may have some times where you hear DX beacons, if you
>> have good antennas up high and are persistent.

>>   The main website is www.newsvhf.com.
>>   The 144 beacon list is http://www.newsvhf.com/beacons2.html
>>   Don't think you're doing 6 meters, but if anyone on the list is,
>> they might want this 50 MHz beacon list:
