Mr. Miller, What's with this "Mr." stuff? Am I under arrest? Part 15 specifies a 9-meter antenna and 100 mW plate/ collector/drain D-C input for the band 530-1710 (May be wrong on the frequencies) and that's enough to met the regs. So a knowledgeable feller could exceed the field intensity at 30 meters and still be legal. Lots of CBers have "discovered" ten meters, I hear tell. In North Carolina, more men need killin' than amateurs are needin' new frequencies! This beacon thing intrigues me, and I may try it someday. Mr. Charles A Taylor, Esq.
