Biography

The 2 KD4NMI/B beacons have been in operation since 1992 ......

The 6 meter and the 2 meter beacons have performed flawless without interruption 24/7.
They are turned off during contesting according to the ARRL rules for beacon operations.
They are switched off 30 mins. before the contest begins, and are back on the air 30 mins. after the contest has been completed.
A check of the frequency the beacons are set to are performed every 2 months for accuracy,
allowing for the doppler shift in propagation plus or minus .01 khz. using a specturm analizer for the accuracy. The power levels of 1 watt, 10 watts, and 100 watts are sent with the lower 1 watt with the first "V", 10 watts with the second "V", and 100 watts with the third "V".
Both beacons are set to the " INTERCONTINENTAL BEACON COMMISSION " (ICB) standards.
If heard.... Please give your name, call, grid, signal you receive, time heard in UTC, and
send the report to....beacon6m@gmail.com
SWL reports are always welcome. I will log you, and send you a printable QSL card for your records.
Thank you in advance for all the reports that I have received and your visit to this page as well.
