Subject: [mvus-list] beacon report

Good morning,

The 1296 beacon is arriving here somewhat weakly.  It is Q3-Q4 copy on my K2 IF radio used with the DEMI transverter. It showed 8-10 dB out of the noise on my SDR-14 receiver and wasn’t quite as readable as it was on the K2.  As of this time it has faded from copy strength, but I still see the signal on the SDR.

This is more typical.  Most of the time I hear it, it is about this strength.  When the band is enhanced, it roars in here at S-9 and shows 25 dB above the noise or more.

My grid finder program shows the path length to be 121 miles.

73,

Dave, K4TO
