**Beacon** **I now have a beacon going out on 49.865 MHz FM at 10 mW. Please have a listen out
for it, it plays every 15 minutes 24/7 Please send your reports
to xlink27@yarhoo.co.uk title your message 49report** Thanks de Wes 49MHz DX Have you ever thought of
using the 49MHz band? This frequency band has
been around for years. I remember using this
band years ago when my children were small. Then the radios we had
were single channel sets. Now there are 5 channels
using FM. A=49.830MHz B=49.845MHz C=49.860MHz D=49.875MHz E=49.890MHz In my area 2 of the
channels have baby monitors on them, I am sure they will turn them off when
they realise that other people can listen in on the bedroom action. Last week I did a range
test with these radios and managed 200 metres. Well 200 metres isn’t
very good is it. I an going to try the range test again, but this time with a ¼
wave tail attached to the negative pole of the battery. Well this should improve
the range. TNX Wes uk1ab |
