For those who heard my talk at RAL yesterday, the original beacon monitoring / signal software from which the LO locking scheme was derived can be found at the top of this page

I have had a quick look at the web stream audio provided by Bryan. The signal from the beacon GM3WOJ/b is as Bryan say constant. I note slight amplitude variation but nothing to suggest any variation

Great job, Brian. We need more beacons 'on the fringes'. There's a lot which we don't know, or perhaps appreciate about marginal microwave propagation in places other than the North Sea basin

I'll have a few Beacon keyer modules and PCBs for the LMX2541 Fract-N Synth chip and for the PIC controller to go with it.. I see on the registration page the talks' titles are not given. Mine

Re same offer if Kent's lp antennas I can confirm from experience that they work well either with a dongle or cellular modems so will be excellent for this application, I don't think I still have the

Sensing a business opportunity, I will bring some of Kent's antennas to RAL tomorrow! Recently Kent replaced the 850-2600MHz LPY with a 850-6500MHz version. However, I still have a few of the
