Dave Richards (AA7EE), has just published a brilliant post about his new beacon: the Sproutie SPT Beacon.
Dave’s beacon is located on 13,558 kHz–he would love your reception reports. Dave notes in his post:
“If you hear the SPT beacon on 13,558 kHz, please send a report – either to the e-mail address listed on my QRZ account [look up call AA7EE], or as a comment underneath this post. Reception reports will be very eagerly received. One gentleman in Seminole County, FL, reported that the area around the SPT frequency was a cacophony of noise in his area, and he stood no chance of hearing it. Those kinds of reports are useful too. If you put your own HiFER beacon on the air, do introduce yourself on the LWCA message board, and John can include you on the list of known active HiFER beacons.“
Readers: let’s give Dave some reception reports! Though I live on the opposite side of North America, I will certainly be listening!
Dave, thanks again for publishing such an informative and detailed post! You’ve inspired me to build my own beacon.
