  I dont hear it on the 706, but then again the receive is pretty pathetic in general coverage, plus they say it's pointing "600" towards europe.

    Bob,

    I dont know if we can. I don't think I have anything that goes that high. I have two Drake receivers, will check them.

    Maybe some day we will have a 70 MHz allocation. That is the frequency of the rf I used when smashing atoms. five RCA 2332's running four MW. 3 plus MW into one cavity and the balance to another. These tubes had about 5 kW drive. Wish I had scavenged the 4X500 and 4X250 stages!

      I wonder if we could hear this....

      4 meters has always fascinated me.....and the 706 can
      do it....

      >Of interest to VHF Men-

      time to turn your rotators in the coming weeks ahead
      ... this taken from the 4
      meters website

      At 1200 UTC today Brian, WA1ZMS, has commissioned a
      new beacon with the
      callsign WE9XFT from Virginia in USA, FM07FM. The
      beacon operates on 70.005
      MHz and is GPS locked. Callsign and a short message
      is sent continuously in CW
      at 18 WPM/90 LPM. It is a radio science beacon for
      E-Skip propagation
      purposes. ERP is 3 kW from a 3 el. Yagi at 600, i.e.
      Europe, and at 1280 mASL.
      The beacon is scheduled to run 24 hours a day until
      September 1st unless there
      are technical issues precluding that. The beacon is
      non-amateur and sadly no
      2-way QSOs can take place.

      Please send any and all reception reports via e-mail
      to Brian, WA1ZMS:
      his_call at att. net.

      cheers david
