Magazine author and experimenter, Drew Diamond, VK3XU, is operating a CW
beacon on 137.4 kHz every Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evening. Drew
has activated a 50 Watt transmitter (pictured right) into an inverted wire
antenna from his Wonga Park QTH. He would like to receiver signal reports,
that can be sent to his email address: vk3xu@wia.org.au providing date,
time, signal strength and grid locator (eb QF22ML). Due to the very low
antenna efficiencies at this frequency, Drew estimates his effective
radiated power is 6 milliWatts. His signal has been heard in Melbourne,
Sale and Sydney. <BR><BR>Interested in this band? <BR><BR>With the recent
amendments to the Australian Radio Frequency Spectrum Plan, Advance
Amateur Licensees can apply to the ACMA for an amendment to their existing
station licence that authorises the use of the band. See the WIA new
