TopBand: 1851 DGPS beacon

[gregsmi@dbn-pop.iafrica.com]

Could any of the SM, LA, OH or OZ guys give me any details abt the 
Differential GPS "beacon" on 1851 kHz.  Info such as Tx power, 
antenna height and polarisation, and location would be interesting.

I have tried to use this beacon as a propagation indicator, but 
have noticed that there is vy little correlation between the strength 
of its signal and condx to northern Eu.  For example the beacon was 
as loud as ever this morning, but no amateur topband signals were 
heard.

Pse reply in private, and I will summarise for the Reflector.

Thanks, 73.
Greg, ZS5K.
