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

Subject: [VHFcontesting] 222 Beacons near Wash DC
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!
