Hello Chris / group. Thank you for the proposed band plan. Looks very sensible. I suspect that as 500kHz continues to evolve, use of the different modes will experience peaks and troughs in their pop

Dear all. Thank you for the various reports sent direct and in messages via the reflector. Harmut's report from 763km is quite astounding. The DDS driving the beacon is set to 503.700 and a quick che

Hello all. After tinkering around for some time I now have a '3 mode beacon' constructed and ready for testing. CW - QRS - PSK31 all on a PICchip. I'm concerned about accidentally putting it on a fre

Hi John GM4SLV Conditions this morning must be slightly up as I can see feint traces of the QRS from the current 5mW appearing on your grabber. That's the first time I've seen anything from my beacon
Hi all. Must be good conditions this morning. I spotted the QRS signal from my QRP beacon on John's grabber at 01.30 UTC. Distance is 984km mainly overland with the signal still there at 02.15. Will

Thanks Tom. ERP well down this evening. Antenna is 3 foot from the house and when it's wet my signal goes down 3 -4dB. Hopefully better signal with you on a nice warm summers day ERP apx 2.5mW Thank
Hi John / LF That's a very interesting comment. Not because of the 2-3 minute period that you have observed, but because you think it's unusual. Having monitored my beacon for a fair time now I've no

Hello John Hartmut and Gary. Good signals all round this evening. Power here is apx 77mW and not the usual 5mW but need to check that later. Did try to monitor but noise levels went from S2 to S7 whe
With a good nights propagation and Harmuts ability to receive, I suspect the first serious piece of QRS at 3 - 10 second will probably make it. BTW, if anyone has one of the G0MRF 300W 136kHz transmi
Hi Peter. Thank you for the report. I know beacons are not everyone's idea of best band usage but I try to keep my meagre 5mW out of the way at the top end of the band. (well, at the top end of Dave'

Well done Hartmut. Nice capture. I'm constantly surprised how you manage to get good reception of my beacon at nearly 700km when it appears to be almost completely unreported anywhere north of Birmin
