Stefan and all,

Thanks for the reports for the initial beacon trials.  The trials =
allowed me to verify the operation of my station and implement a number =
of improvements.

Stefan, your suggestions are most correct for EbNaut beacon operations =
on 2200.  I have a bit more work to do on the station and then will =
begin announced beacon operations with my call sign only and shorter =
duration.

Thanks again & 73,

I tried all available files but without a single decode. Maybe it is =
just propagation? My timing and frequency stability should be OK.=20
If you like, try a shorter mesage, <=3D 5 characters in < 30 minutes.

  I will move up 0.5 Hz for tonight and tomorrow to 137477.5 Hz as =

  The new antenna matching and tuning unit I recently built and =

    Hello LFers,

    I will be running a trial EbNaut beacon on 2200m this weekend (24, =
25 and 26 August) to make sure everything plays together and the smoke =
stays in the wires & components. =20

    Details:
    Freq  137477.00 Hz, Coding 8K19, CRC 16, 3 sec symbols, 13 character =
message, Duration 44:48.00, Starting on the hour @ 1 watt EIRP.  The =
transmitted signal & carrier include a 10 minute on-off CW ID at 20 WPM =
running on top of the EbNaut carrier.

    Reports, observations and comments welcome :-)
