[WSWSS] Tehachapi beacon status - update note

[Jack Henry]

Hello,

   My 2 meter beacon in DM12 (N6XQ)  has been off the air for about a 
year.  The exciter broke and I have not found a replacement.  I did have 
some complaints that it was too strong in the local area. The 222, 432, and 
1296 beacons here are on the air.

   I hear the N6NB beacon Q5 all the time with a loop rx antenna, so ERP is 
not a problem in this direction.  High altitude beacons seem to propagate 
very well.  If there is a primary power source limitation, my preference 
would be to reduce the power and have it transmit continuously.  I am 
impatient in waiting for beacons to transmit.

By the way, I was hearing KH6HME/B on 2 and 222 yesterday 
afternoon.  Please post your reception reports for the Hawaiian beacons at 
KH6FOO's page
