GB3BUX BEACON IO83 70.000MHz

[G6TGO]

BEACON OFF AIR UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE AS OF 1ST APL 2011.
THIS INCLUDES THE 6M SISTER BEACON ON 50.000MHz
I will try to find out if it is a technical failure or another reason.

Still cannot hear either in Manchester and just put a 70Mhz loop and thought I had made a mistake until checked with an analyser which says the loop ok.
Any other info. on when they may be back yet ?

cheers

Hi Brian .
I am working hard to find out exactly what has happened I can only say that there are a lot of tight lipped people out there ! investigations continue please call me on 70.450 for further information.

73 for now.

Re: GB3BUX

Hi All

The current keeper of GB3BUX rang me back this evening

He hopes to get on its remote site next week to investigate/fix. The
expectations are currently power supply related as both its 50 and 70MHz outputs
are off line (assuming nothing more nasty has happened)

- more in due course

Apart from a patient wait & see - no need to worry at present -

Thanks for the info Murray.

Obviously they are both very strong here but still a useful reference when doing any alterations.

21:20 back on air here - seems very weak by comparison to before, maybe temporary qrp?

Anyway - back on air.

BTW LOC is IO93BF

They seem OK here but, at more than 10 over 9, it's difficult to judge.

Since GB3BUX has come back on it seems a bit down on previous. On my mean S meter it used to be 15db over S9. last evening and today its only just S9.

Great to have it back on. I use it to calibrate my 42mhz xtal in the transverter.
