[Mich VHF UHF Society] NE8I/b

[Stan Mattson]

Hi Brandon,

I don't know much about it.  He told me the call sign of the British guy who programs the chip for him but I didn't note it as he was going to see about getting it changed.  I will take it down as time permits and see what's inside.

I'll get back to you when I do.  I believe it's less than 1 watt and we aimed it at Tony near Cleveland.

Stan, W8MIL

Stan, do you know what chip is being used? I could possibly change the callsign for you. Or maybe I could build another ID keyer circuit. How many watts is that beacon? de N8PUM Brandon

Lloyd's 10 Ghz beacon is still in operation here in EN74ic, we never got the IDer to change to W8MIL, I believe he said a Brit could supply a modified ID chip.

Having known Lloyd for over 40 years; knowing his passion for VHF/UHF and especially microwave equipment and activity; considering his dedication to activating many grids on many bands through Rovering both during and outside of contests and having benefited from his willingness to share that knowledge, I can’t think of a better way to pay tribute to him and his legacy.  Lloyd was a smart, talented, humble man who would probably decline such a suggestion.  But having a Club call sign that represented something other than just a randomly issued extra class vanity call sign is an honor fitting NE8I’s contributions to VHF/UHF.  I support and second the nomination of NE8I to become the new MIVUS Club call and the issuing of NE8I/b for any club sponsored or supported beacons located around the Sate of Michigan.   With regard to NE8I/b or NE8I/p operations QSL cards, there needs to be some thought and discussion hi hi.
