[...] Cheers de Alan > G3NYKAlan.Melia@btinternet.com Alan, Yes indeed WA2XTF, the AMRAD beacon is now "on" (well, actually it is "off" this week-end for antenna maintenance, but it should be back on the air circa 16 June). At this point, we transmit a continuously repeating message at 5 wpm in CW, although later this year we will try BPSK. As regards insomniacs on this side of the Atlantic, AMRAD is replete with them. But I think that we still need to refine our technology on this side before we can attempt such a feat. 73 Andre' N4ICK
