the beacon part (is it one of the Ukrainian boards)? And then
how are you able to come up to 50 mW which is what I think the

the beacon board.</font></font>

<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>

all you do and for all your help......stay safe es 73</font></font><br>

Can you please tell me if the Grand rapids
10 GHz beacon is still operating and if so
what is it's current freq? Since the Cinci
beacon died the only other beacon I might
be able to hear under some enhancement is
Grand Rapids. I want to do some long term
signal plotting of it. TU es 73</font></font><br>
