Very nice indeed! Today I tried a Google translation of the LU beacon page

 http://www.qsl.net/l/lu9dpd/136kHz/Proyecto_beacon_136_LU.htm 

and more or less got the general story of this long lasting project, involving a number of participants. Congratulations to all!

 

Best 73,

LF,

Just want to inform you that there was a successful reception of Oscar/LU1DOW at Martin/YV7MAE, today 4 UTC.
See

Oscar sent QRSS_30, so the letters are not so well readable, although the SNR is very good. Then he jumped in frequency to proof that it is actually his transmission. And the trace at Martin jumped too :-)

Congratulations to both of them for crossing the eqator! This is the path:

A first sign from Argentinia in Venezuela. And the 3rd continent for Martin! :-)

I have updated the capture archive site for YV7MAE, see:

(Unfortunately some detected US stations are not shown in the map. Google earth automatically rejects to display the callsigns because they are to close together. It becomes difficult to show all received stations in one map now!)
and the grabber is at
