The RSGB is close to installing and operating two new beacons on 5290kHz..
The new beacons, which some have monitored during their hardware test phase, will be installed shortly and operate under the callsigns GB3WES and GB3ORK. GB3WES will be located in Cumbria and GB3ORK in the Orkney Islands. Both will have a stepped transmit power sequence and a 30-second sounder sequence of 0.5ms pulses at 40Hz prf identical to that of the current GB3RAL beacon. Their transmit times will follow GB3RAL by one and two minutes respectively. With GB3RAL located in Oxfordshire, the three beacons will provide an excellent spread of signal source across Great Britain and thus offer experimenters a unique opportunity to study propagation effects at 5MHz from their own QTH. In addition to people designing and conducting their own experiments all are additionally invited and encouraged to send in their reports to the 5MHz Working Group in support of the '5MHz Experiment'. Note that the use of these three beacons is open to all, as no NoV or amateur licence is required to monitor and collect data. Further information is available on the RSGB Spectrum Forum website. The RSGB 5MHz Working Group would like to thank Andy, G4JNT, who has designed and built the beacons and also the two new beacon keepers, John, G3WGV and Donnie, GM0HTH. (RSGB) |
