Topband: 160m Fishing Beacons

[Ray Benny]

Nick,

I'm glad someone is picking up the fishing beacon documentation and history.
I believe it is you that is wanting to keep an SWL log of beacons heard. If
not, pse let me know who is.

I have made up my own Excel SWL list, it is attached. I have added several
extra columns: my sunrise, WWV, and relative signal strength and a note
field. I am new to 160m and currently only listen a couple times a
week during our sunrise. When I got on 160m and started logging the beacons
heard, I did not record the date, signal strength or WWV.

Let me know if you would like more of these SWL lists from me.
