<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial">Not the best time of the day
to evaluate VHF beacons but here is what your two beacons
sound like from my QTH in EN70JT, 20 miles south of Ft. Wayne
IN under flat conditions. I did not optimize yagi pointing
between the two but nonetheless I found both peaking 15-20 dB
above my NF during QSB up-swings. Enclosed below is a URL to a
small WAV file. Not sure if this post will make it to the
group. 73</font></font></p>

Light travels faster than sound....
This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.</pre>

your beacon, and I want to thank you for the update.
I had your beacon on my beacon list here, but had it
located in EN83. Did you move it? Or was my original
list wrong? I can't hear it yet, but I've been
listening.</div>

beacon as well on 144.280 from EN72ct. My beacon is
on my bench right now for some upgrades, but it will
be back up soon. It's about 900 feet above sea
level. I also have other beacons on 222.058, and
1296.301</div>
