\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Robert Gulley (AK3Q), who notes that Black Cat Systems has developed a simple 22 meter beacon kit. The price is $20 shipped!<\/a>\u00a0A few details:<\/p>\n

The kit includes the PCB and components, including a custom programmed microcontroller that will continuously transmit the ID \/ callsign of your choice, up to 8 characters, at about 13 wpm.<\/p>\n

Small size – just 2 7\/8 by 1 1\/2 inches. Easy to build, just a few components, all through hole, no surface mount.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When ordering you note your callsign\/ID to send and it will be pre-programmed.<\/p>\n

Black Cat Systems has all kit details including full instructions on their website.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you like the idea of building a beacon, you must also check out the beacon Dave (AA7EE) built recently–a true work of art!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
