Topband: NCDXF Beacons...

[Kevin Rowett]

New thread, and I don’t often contribute to top band list.

The beacon at W6WX has a special authorization from the FCC.  KH6RS is a bit questionable, right now, as we changed the callsign and moved the beacon.

No other countries have a restriction.

The NCDXF beacons ONLY transmit on 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m.

The listed URL will give you lots of good info.  And, we’ve love to get reception reports.  All the Ops work hard to keep the beacons on the air.  We appreciate their efforts.

> 
> Each beacon transmits once on each band once every three minutes, 24 hours a 
> day.
> 
> A transmission consists of the callsign of the beacon sent at 22 words per 
> minute followed by four one-second dashes.
> 
> The callsign and the first dash are sent at 100 watts. The remaining dashes are 
> sent at 10 watts, 1 watt and 100 milliwatts.
> 
> At the end of each 10 second transmission, the beacon steps to the next higher 
> band and the next beacon in the sequence begins transmitting.
