** This beacon features a CW store and forward processor to help folks
verify that their 10 GHz systems are working.
Here is how to access the beacon receiver:
Point your antenna at W3LPL, FM19LG, tune in the beacon in CW mode
Set your transmitter to transmit CW 3 KHz below your receive frequency
You can transmit to the beacon any time it is not IDing or repeating
back another signal.
Send a minimum of 5 or 6 characters, a maximum of less than 12
seconds of CW. The beacon will repeat your CW (keep it under 40 WPM)
followed by your signal strength in dBm (the minus before the number is
left off). This means that smaller signal strength numbers are stronger
signals.
The acceptance bandwidth of the receiver is about one KHz. With a
little practice, you can figure out what Tx offsets will work for you.
For those with good receivers, you will need to have 40 dB of receiver
S/N before the beacon will hear you - that is a strong signal!
If you hear the beacon repeating garbage, one of five things is
likely happening:
- It's raining at W3LPLs QTH (local rain scatter)
- The wind is high at W3LPLs QTH (vibration noise)
- Somebody is trying to send SSB or FM through the CW detector (IT
WON'T WORK)
- The beacon is measuring the insect population of Glenwood, Md.
- The beacon receiver is a little noisy at times and will
occasionally capture random noise.
Most of those events lead to "104" or "105"
signal levels (very weak).
