Topband: Fish net beacon locations?

[Milt, N5IA]

All,

We "rescued" a couple of "flotsam and jetsom" beacons that had washed up on 
shore at Ducie Atoll, VP6DX.  A couple of the more hardened Top Banders in 
the group took them apart and examined them.  Some of the pieces may have 
made their way home as souvenirs.

If anyone wants to see some photos, including closeups of the inards, E-mail 
me directly and I will be glad to send them to you.  These are high 
resolution photos and are quite large in size.  Make sure you have enough 
E-mail space to handle 10 megs or so.

Milt, N5IA
