2 meter beacons

Steve N2IC

Okay....you guys talked me into it. I am now operative on 2 meter CW and SSB, with 100 watts and 11 elements, horizontal. Will try to get FT8 working. Would be nice to know if it is working before the contest. Any beacons out there ? I'll monitor 144.200 if someone wants to make some noise - I am in DM52XT.

Hi Steve,

I used to work NM5SD all the time on 2 and 432 in Silver City. It may be possible to work you from Tucson depending on your horizon this way. I am running 1500 W to a 4 yagi array I use for moonbounce. Not the best for tropo but it does pretty well. I am good in QRZ if you want to give it a try.

Yes, Steve (NM5SD) had a good location to the west. West is my only poor direction !

Jay, I was sporadically sending calls during the 1st 30 sec period for about 20 minutes.

I could hear plenty of pings from WA7XX but I'm only running 600W
