Topband: Beacon Tribune, The N2XE

[John Ceccherelli]

Last night’s code word was BEER.  20 stations reported in, thanks guys! 
Ray, K9IT in Illinois, wins the night at 797 miles or 15,940 miles per watt.

Tonight, I’m going to get a little selfish and see how the Fly Rod Vertical 
does on 160 meters.  Power will stay at 50 mW.  The antenna patter will 
probably kill the signal for you folks within 100 miles of me but we’ll see.

Beacon details can be found at http://mysite.verizon.net/n2xe/id2.html

Don’t forget to include your state or province in the report—saves me the 
trouble of looking it up ;-)
