These are the beacons that I can hear regularly here in Spring
Lake:<br>
<br>
<pre>144.295 K8MM EN83fa MI Flint 12W horizontal omni HB Squalo @ 95'.
144.297 WD9BGA EN53ba WI Blue Mounds 10W to pair of HO loops 1900' asl.
</pre>
There is supposed to be a beacon on 144.287 in Ludington by W8VHF,
but I have never heard it. There is another on 144.282 in Standish
by WI8Z, but again, I have not heard it. N8PUM has one on 144.278
in Ishpeming, but it is too far from me under normal conditions.<br>
<br>
I would recommend somewhere between 144.288 and 144.293 MHz.<br>
<br>
Here is what is listed in that frequency range on the WZ1B list:<br>
<br>
<pre>144.287 W8VHF EN64sa MI Ludington 1W to 4 el yagi @ 24 ft aimed SSW.

144.290 K2DLL FN23xc NY Providence 20W + 2 Big Wheels 1620'ASL
144.290 K7PO DM32 AZ Gila Bend 15W to vertical @ 900'.
144.290 N0LAN EN13lm SD Parker 20W to stacked halos @ 95'.

<div>I am using the DDS portion of a Softrock RX for the signal
source so it's easy to set the frequency. It is presently set
on 144.288.</div>
