Wikipedia is way out of date. For up to date info on 4m see www.70MHZ.org Its currently QRV as WG2XPN/B on an all year round basis. Previously it had a different callsign every year and was only allowed to transmit may-spetember (Sp-E) season. It has already been heard by me in TX this year(off the back of its beam!). Its best DX so far is Italy. Yes a lot more Eu Countries have the band than 10 years ago. For beacon info see http://www.70mhz.org/index.php?categoryid=1&p2_articleid=365

First I've heard it suggested! According to Wikipedia: "United States has one experimental transmitter in Virginia transmitting CW on 70.005 MHz. Call sign is WE9XFT." This may be stale information, but here's something about that station (a beacon) from 3 years ago: http://www.qth.net/pipermail/zsvhf/2011-February/001858.html Wayne ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
