I have a pass in about one hour now from near Seattle. Since, I've never used HO-68, is the beacon: Downlink 435.7900 MHz CW ??
Btw, how does the typical beacon signal compare to the typical transponder signal folks have? Is it louder or same? Thanks, Joe, AD7D. -----Original Message----- From: Mark L.

Allan's post the other day effectively said, 'beacon only until further notice--if you don't hear it please report it!' I think we saw some reports that the beacon was NOT heard... "We weren't expecting the transponder, but we didn't hear the beacon either. Glenn AA5PK " I suspect they will appreciate reports to the Oscar Status page, too!! It is really helpful to command stations... 73!
