The DDS exciter has a frequency shift of 0.42 Hz, and the tones should be within 0.1 Hz of the declared frequencies. If the SSB backup exciter needs to be called upon, the frequency shift is 0.4 Hz. Nomimal sunset at ZL6QH on 13 September is 0600 UTC Nominal sunrise at ZL6QH is 1830 UTC We will probably have the beacon running well before sunset, and also let it run well past sunrise. Will be get a report from further away than The Americas? Good luck. 73, Bob ZL2CA
