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:

I didn't know the beacon band went that high. In any event, isn't
529Khz too close to the 530TIS?

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].

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.

I would have thought the Nevada Highway Patrol would have licensed
their VHF trunk system, but they didn't. I would have thought NASA and
their contractors would have agreed on which units (English or metric)
to use, but they didn't. I can go on if you want.

Good Examples of some real Oopsizes ~ RHF

Oh, I have managed to make a few "that won't work" pronouncements to
see them ignored, and of course the circuit didn't work.

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.
