Stefan and all,
Thanks for the reports for the initial beacon trials. The trials
allowed me to verify the operation of my station and implement a number of
improvements.
Stefan, your suggestions are most correct for EbNaut beacon operations on
2200. I have a bit more work to do on the station and then will begin
announced beacon operations with my call sign only and shorter duration.
Thanks again & 73,

Rob,
I tried all available files but without a single decode. Maybe it is
just propagation? My timing and frequency stability should be OK. If you
like, try a shorter mesage, <= 5 characters in < 30 minutes. 73,

Thanks for the reports and comments on the trial run last night.
Not surprised by the excellent decodes from W1VD over a relatively short
path!
I will move up 0.5 Hz for tonight and tomorrow to 137477.5 Hz as
requested by DK7FC. All other parameters remain unchanged.
The new antenna matching and tuning unit I recently built and installed
was only slightly warm after running overnight at full input power. Most
excellent!

Hello LFers,
I will be running a
trial EbNaut beacon on 2200m this weekend (24, 25 and 26 August) to make
sure everything plays together and the smoke stays in the wires &
components.
Details:
Freq
137477.00 Hz, Coding 8K19, CRC 16, 3 sec symbols, 13 character message,
Duration 44:48.00, Starting on the hour @ 1 watt EIRP. The transmitted
signal & carrier include a 10 minute on-off CW ID at 20 WPM running on
top of the EbNaut carrier.
Reports,
observations and comments welcome
:-)
