I'm hearing a beacon IDing as WE2XGR/6 on about 507 KHZ. Anyone know
where it's located and what's up with the unusual ID?


Never mind. A Google search reveals that it's a 200 watt ham radio
"lowfer" in Pen Yan, NY. Interesting!

That is interesting. Not the lowfer part, but the call. Generally, the call
would indicate a region 2 licensed station operating in region 6 (IIRC,
region 2 is the NY area, region 6 is California).
