[VHFcontesting] 222 Beacons near Wash DC

[Steve (K1IIG)]

Gents,

I guess there are 2 Steve's working on 222 beacons at the same time. I have 3 beacons on the air and the newest is on 222.060  listed with .25w which is now 5w to a wheel at 480' hmsl. 
Here is my beacon list.

FN31NL
All at 480' HMSL

222.060   ~ 4w erp to a wheel
432.320   ~ 4w erp to a wheel
2304.324 ~30w erp to an Alford Slot

None are locked but should be stable and reasonable close to freq. When I am contesting they will be off.

RST reports appreciated.

Steve,
I have two stacked 222 horizontal loops, I am at FM19kg, near Damascus, MD, 
Demi 222/28 to KX3, seems to copy well, but no copy on any beacons.  There 
are several FM repeaters I can hit.  If I hear any beacons I will let you 
know.  Good luck 73

Starting to assemble a 222 Mhz station - using an FT817 as a 28MHz IF
and one of the made-in-Ukraine transverters that are available on
ebay.  I can receive my VX8 HT and will try local repeaters once I do
some antenna work, but would like to find non-FM signal sources.
http://ntms.org/222Beacons.htm  says there is a beacon in Annapolis MD
at 222.055, KL7GLK/3.  It isn't listed on
http://www.newsvhf.com/beacons2.html, just 2 in VA (N4MW is 99 miles
SSE of me, WD4GSM 320mi SW)  and K3DEL in DE 103 miles ESE.
Suggestions?  Once I get things working, plan is to build a WA5VJB
Cheap Yagi and hope my wife doesn't schedule me for something June 13
& 14!
