[SCCC] IARU Beacon Automatic Monitoring Stations

[Dana Roode]

SCCC'ers,

I mentioned this to a few of you at the meeting yesterday.  There are 
stations around the world equipped with VE3NEA's FAROS software for 
automatic monitoring of the IARU beacons.  The list is here:

I have found the K8PZ monitor one of the more reliable in the US.  If 
you aren't near a radio, this is a good way to see what the 
propagation is like (or what its like in other parts of the world). 
The graphs these monitors make have been a bit more interesting the 
last week or so with some actual propagation to report.
