2 meter beacon added to my station


A new beacon has been added to the WB9OTX station. The frequency is 144.282 Mhz. It is transmitting 24/7 giving my call sign and full grid square. The antenna is a horizontal loop side mounted on my tower at twenty five foot. The RF output power is 10 watts. The location is Versailles, Indiana. (EM79ib) The use of this beacon is to provide propagation conditions. If you receive this beacon please send your report to my QRZ page email or mailing address. The link is:
