<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial">Hi Dave. I am so sorry to hear
about the beacons being down. But I like that you have plans
to get them operational again. Beacons are so, so important as
you know, esp on the higher frequencies. This latest batch of
post on the Midwest group has made me decide to design up a
monitoring/recording station starting on 10 GHz. Your beacon
and Jim's (N8CEI) are the only two possibilities for me.
Unfortunately Jim's beacon is down as well and he is not eager
to climb the 125' tower during the winter. I was going to park
the dish aimed at your beacon and start recording long term FS
levels. I think it would be fascinating to see the effects
local WX has on the received beacon levels.<br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial">I continue to work on my
beacon effort and I hope to have one up and running on ".350"
by late spring. I just need to find an intermediate amplifier
to take me from ~8 dBm up to 15 dBm to drive this very old 2W
DEMI that I have.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial">Thank you again for all you do
and for all your help......stay safe es 73</font></font><br>

that's not going to happen until this coming Spring. All

the same power supply, and automated keyer and they are all
down. So that narrows down the problem a bit.</div>

please tell me if the Grand rapids 10 GHz beacon
is still operating and if so what is it's current

long term signal plotting of it. TU es 73</font></font><br>
