Topband: Beacon Tribune - A Great Response

[John Ceccherelli <n2xe@verizon.net>(by way of Bill Tippett<btippett@alum.mit.edu>)]

Which means it takes every spare second I have to summarize the results...

If you copied SIGN, you copied a 5 watt signal.  If you copied WATT, you 
copied the one watt signal.  Regardless, the response was huge.  Good 
conditions and an awful lot of people listening produce the largest N2XE 
Beacon round-up yet.

23 states, 1 province, 2 from the UK - nice haul.

Tonight will be a potential record setter.  80 meters at 10 uW.  I think 
last night showed that with good propagation and a little tenacity, the 
signal is receivable.  So, tune to 3545.5 KHz now until 1230Z.
