I would love to do this but the winds have been so bad here in the
last couple of months that it is not safe to leave a kW Tx on
overnight. My antenna (see
http://lf.apersonalguide.co.uk/antenna.htm)
moves around quite a lot in the southerlies we have been having as I
have no space for guying and one end is in a tree. See
http://lf.apersonalguide.co.uk/DSCF3204.AVI for a 3.5Mb video, but
don't look if you are the nervous type.
The only good periods of weather were when the conditions were awful,
or just after Christmas when I was away!
Just as soon as the weather is stable I will run a beacon as often as
I can.
