The K1IIG 2304.320 beacon at FN31nl has been moved to FN31tt. It was at 480'
hmsl and is now at ~830hmsl running the same 25w to stacked 3db wheels with 38w
ERP.
Temporarily I put a lower power 2.5w beacon at FN31nl on 2304.340 using the
10db Alford slot with 15w ERP.
If the new site in FN31tt, Coventry CT performs as expected, I will move the
10db slot replacing the 3db stacked wheels. TBD
The reason for the move is something those on this band might be interested in.
AT&T has recently commissioned a 2ghz band transmitting on 2350-2360mhz. Should
you be near one of their sites
and do not have filters, you may experience RFI. In my case the cell is only a
few hundred feet away so the RFI is mutual. My noise floor is over S9 with my
Mast Mounted SSB tower mounted preamp.
I am in the process of testing filters to eliminate their interference.
PLEASE SEND ME SIGNAL REPORTS ON BOTH BEACONS TO HELP ME COMPARE LOCATIONS.
73's
