WX9XRU 70MHz beacon now active
Dave, WW2R/5 reports that the WX9XRU 70MHz beacon in Virginia was activated on Saturday afternoon, 26th May. The beacon is beamed across the Atlantic, so hopefully there will be many reports from Europe this summer.
Dave heard the beacon, by Es off the back of its’ beam on Sunday on his 70MHz dipole over a distance of 1626km.
Could you give us the frequency?

Hopefully its a begining for the us to have a segment of 4m
You must not be to worried (AC7AF). The US has WAY more frequency allocations at VHF than we do over here!!
What’s the frequency? And the location in Virginia?
