I have been looking at a beacon controller using the Arduaino micro processor
with an external RF unit, just a 3 to 5 watt QRP CW rig and a simple ground
plane antenna. Have you looked at this possibility? Looks to be about a $200
deal to me. I am looking to build one for here, maybe we could duplicate a
design and cooperate to build two.

Subject: [Elecraft] OT: the cheapest way to build a six meter beacon
Hello Elecrafters,
The VR2SIX 6m beacon has been down for some time because the gears have been
used over 20 years and beyond repair. Local radio club (HARTS) is finding a
way to build up a 6m beacon again but with very limited funds. The beacon
requirement could be a simple 5W transmitter sending out CWID of VR2SIX.
If you are aware of any useful information, please send me the relevant web
link or sources of information.
Thanks for your help in advance and please reply off-the-list.
