<H1>Austrian 70 MHz Beacon OE5QL</H1>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>It's not long until this year's Sporadic E season starts
and there will be a new 4 metre beacon to listen out for, <STRONG>OE5QL</STRONG>
from Austria on 70,045 MHz.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>It has been given an experimental call sign by the
Austrian PTT rather than an amateur call since the 70 MHz amateur band is not
yet available in Austria. It is licenced to operate from 1 June until 31 August
2009.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Transmission is limited to just 2 minutes per sequence
between 04:00 and 19:47 UTC. <BR><BR>Each sequence begins at +00 min, +15 min,
+30 min and +45 min past each hour e.g. 04:00-04:02, 04:15-04:17, 04:30-04:32
and 04:45-04:47.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>Transmission power is 1W ERP in the first minute of each
sequence and 5W ERP for the second minute of each sequence.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>If the beacon does not interfere with services outside of
Austria, an extension may be possible after August 2009.</FONT></P>
