They helped me with either technical help and/or by donating a Kuhne beacon and slot antenna. I had it operational over Lake Superior but ran into some issues. Lloyd helped me repair it and now I would like to place it over Northern Lake Michigan since there may be more stations likely to hear it. I hope to add an amplifier to it to boost the 200 mW soon. What I think would be really great would be to use NE8I as the callsign but for now I will use mine. I will let everyone know when I find a high spot and the beacon(s) are operational. 73' de N8PUM Brandon EN66dl<br>><br>> Sent from my iPhone<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>MiVUS mailing list<br>MiVUS@mivus.org<br>subscribe/unsubscribe http://mail.mivus.org/mailman/listinfo/mivus_mivus.org<br></body></html>
