This is of a temporary nature and the frequency can be shifted to accomodate those who have a problem with their xtal freq transmitters or who have local reception problems. I would very much welcome reception reports on these transmissions, my callsign, EI0CF, is repeated continuously. >> Sounds interesting, What is H24? Re communication: Not all operators have access to the internet to express their thoughts on beacon operation. At this location G3KEV is frequently heard around this frequency but as far as I know he is not on the net. Similarly, I believe there is a beacon on in Germany which has been on for weeks with low erp, in the middle of the band. Is there a particular duration, or experiment planned. I'll have a listen for it after the weekend - When the neighbours switch off the QRM. Could be interesting to see the differences between daytime and night time propagation. 73 David
