I will continue the beacon for two more days starting around 20z until 07z. 
After that it's CQ160 contest and the Beverage antennas will be taken down 
soon after. However, the K9AY-array stays up all year.
If anyone from any continent wants to do some testing through this Skype 
receive beacon, send me an e-mail and we'll get things going. The above link 
on my website will remain active for this purpose.
