LYQ NDB beacon testing tonight
The LYQ NDB beacon 529 KHZ is testing with 10 watts. The final TX
power will be 50 watts. We are making adjustments on it off and on plus Flight testing it. Until it's fully commissioned will be on and off the air. We plan on QSLing the Beacon when we get it up to snuff. The LYQ Beacon is using a 120 foot high tower 'shunt feed' this tower suspends one leg of a Rhombic antenna. The WWRB transmitter facility has Two Runways in operation and is designated as an Airport by the FAA for Company aircraft operations. Airport FAA Id is : 43TN ROSEANNE airport. VORTAC located on field the Freq is 108.650 We will leave the Beacon on tonight (July 4) so you can see if you hear it. Please post your reception reports right here Thanks |

It would help if you gave your location which after googling around I assume
it is 8 miles N of MORRISON, TN Roseanne Airport at URL: http://www.airnav.com/airport/43TN Lamont wrote in message ups.com... The LYQ NDB beacon 529 KHZ is testing with 10 watts.

From URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dir...ng_equ ipment A Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) is a radio broadcast station in a known location, used as an aviation or marine navigational aid. NDB usage for aviation is standardized by ICAO Annex 10 which specifies that NDBs be operated on a frequency between 190 kHz and 1750 kHz[1] although normally all NDBs in North America operate between 190 kHz and 535 kHz[1]. Example: http://www.airnav.com/navaids/ ADK MOUNT MOFFETT NDB/DME ADAK ISLAND, AK Location Lat/Long: 51-52-18.830N / 176-40-33.630W (51.8718972/-176.6760083) Elevation: 332 ft. Variation: 07E (2000) Operational Characteristics Type: NDB/DME Class: HW/DME Frequency: 530 kHzLamont |

M...Sushi, A very good and valid point : TIS Radio Stations on 530 kHz does dominant that Frequency in many US locations. This would place any distant NDB signal on that Frequency 'underneath' the local TIS. But 'if' the object of this NDB is to serve the Local Airport as a Navigational Aid and there are no TIS Stations in that area it sould do OK for this intended purpose. However, 'if' it was being designed as a NDB for DXers to receive and report on : Then it is most likely to be a flop with all the Nation Wide TIS Radio Station Transmitters on the same 530 kHz Frequency. But with 50 Watts and a Shut-Fed 120 Foot Tower it should give a lot of TIS Stations a competitive signal : Just Listen for : .-.. -.-- --.- [ L Y Q ] Who knows you may hear Roseanne Airport in far off Tennessee 'ID'ing itself one early morning. they're out there - all you have to do is listen ~ RHF |

That NHP fiasco cost Nevada about 14 million in fines. I don't recall the exact amount. The idiot in charge got to resign. However, the $14 million fine doesn't reflect the real cost. They lost their VHF frequencies (remember, no license) and had to replace the system with 800 Mhz. It will take about 8x the number of sites. Since there are only two vendors in trunk radio, they had to pick EDACS since the screwed up system was done by Moto. What a mess. |
