Steve,
I have two stacked 222 horizontal loops, I am at FM19kg, near Damascus, MD, Demi 222/28 to KX3, seems to copy well, but no copy on any beacons. There are several FM repeaters I can hit. If I hear any beacons I will let you know. Good luck 73

Starting to assemble a 222 Mhz station - using an FT817 as a 28MHz IF
and one of the made-in-Ukraine transverters that are available on
ebay.  I can receive my VX8 HT and will try local repeaters once I do
some antenna work, but would like to find non-FM signal sources.
http://ntms.org/222Beacons.htm  says there is a beacon in Annapolis MD
at 222.055, KL7GLK/3.  It isn't listed on
http://www.newsvhf.com/beacons2.html, just 2 in VA (N4MW is 99 miles
SSE of me, WD4GSM 320mi SW)  and K3DEL in DE 103 miles ESE.
Suggestions?  Once I get things working, plan is to build a WA5VJB
Cheap Yagi and hope my wife doesn't schedule me for something June 13
& 14!
