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.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 6:26 AM, George Andrews <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gandrews@ntplx.net">gandrews@ntplx.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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!<br>

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

time to turn your rotators in the coming weeks ahead<br>
... this taken from the 4<br>
meters website<br>
<br>
At 1200 UTC today Brian, WA1ZMS, has commissioned a<br>
new beacon with the<br>
callsign WE9XFT from Virginia in USA, FM07FM. The<br>
beacon operates on 70.005<br>
MHz and is GPS locked. Callsign and a short message<br>
is sent continuously in CW<br>
at 18 WPM/90 LPM. It is a radio science beacon for<br>
E-Skip propagation<br>
purposes. ERP is 3 kW from a 3 el. Yagi at 600, i.e.<br>
Europe, and at 1280 mASL.<br>
The beacon is scheduled to run 24 hours a day until<br>
September 1st unless there<br>
are technical issues precluding that. The beacon is<br>
non-amateur and sadly no<br>
2-way QSOs can take place.<br>
<br>
Please send any and all reception reports via e-mail<br>
to Brian, WA1ZMS:<br>
