[VHFcontesting] Re: [NEWSVHF] WA2UMX 23cm beacon is on the air

[David Olean]

Hi Guys,
    I am hearing the new WA2UMX beacon here in FN43MJ on 1296.3 (approx) at
about S1 to S5 with QSB. It sounds pretty good, and is abit weaker than  the
222 UMX beacon signal, but not by much.
    Thanks for the efforts. A 1296 beacon is a great idea for up here. Now I
can hear something all (or most) of the time to check my receiving!  TNX!
