[ki6ff@juno.com]

Late news form Paul via K6IBY, Joe...

The 222 MHz beacon is on the air from BK29, Muana Loa on the BIG Island
of Hawaii.

Here is the run down:
On the air as of today, June 2, 2003
Frequency: 222.100 MHz. (Yes the calling frequency. If you don't want to
hear it turn your antennas away).
Mode: CW
Power: 95 watts.
On the air daily 6am PDT to 11pm PDT (that is correct, Pacific Daylight
Time...our local west coast time).
Antenna: 40' heliax to an 11 element beam.
Beam direction: Santa Barbara, CA ( at that beam width we should have
good coverage all along the coast).

Paul says: If you hear this beacon please call me (after 11 am PDT) at 1
808 959-9553.  If an answering machine picks up...give me your name and
callsign, the time and date you heard the beacon. The location where you
heard the beacon, a signal report, and your phone number so I can call
you back.

Joe, K6IBY says: Let me know when you hear the beacon.  There is a
special certificate for being the first ever to hear this beacon.  Also
we will have a big luau party to celebrate.

73, David, KI6FF
