[net.ham-radio] 6-meter propagation beacon

wjc@ll-vlsi (Bill Chiarchiaro) (09/17/85)

	A 6-meter beacon will soon be operating from FN41 on Cape Cod.
The frequency of the beacon is 50.070 MHz and it ID's in slow Morse
Code as W2CAP/B.  The beacon will have a Yagi at >100' aimed at Great
Britain.  The sponsors of this machine include K1VZI, K1MUC, and
W2CAP.

	As of this mailing, the beacon is on the air most evenings at
W2CAP's main QTH south of Boston.

bill,

	Thanks for the info on the new 6 mtr beacon.  Unfortunately, there is
one here in the Dallas area on the same freq.  Doubt if we will ever
hear the w2cap/b beacon here. will listen just the same.
