Very sad news. Harry was a constant presence on 2m. He will be sorely missed. RIP

And it works well too Murray. Are you active on 23cm ?

I'm on the lookout for a 10w pa for the Climie 3cm beacon too. Power does not come cheap though.

Would consider putting a dish up the mast here in Wellington. but with most of the NZ activity a long way north the chances of a qso are slim.

Just a note to say there is a new repeater operational on 53.950MHz running 60 Watts into a base loaded vertical. The location is Mount Climie, Upper Hutt. RE78NU.
ZL2MHF the Climie 6M beacon is now permanently of air.

Hi Simon Hi Peter It (was) 10 watts - off air now being replaced by a 6m repeater. The Antenna here is a dipole @ 5m. I'm line of site to the beacon location - Mount Climie. What level (dbm) iare you receiving the beacon at ? Are you getting any adc overload warnings ? and as a somebody on the hpsd...

Strange, got a similar setup here. Hermes+Anan10 did not notice any issues on 6m when my local beacon 6km away was keying. Hi unknown, (you did not sign with a name), I would be interested to know what size and height antenna you use and if you know the power and freq of the beacon you made mention...

11 Dec 2012 update. Tried to use my HERMES tonight on 6mx and find it is not happy with the the vk5rbv beacon (50.315) that is near me. I have over 100 different peaks of the beacon keying (including one on 50.110), which makes the panadapter next to useless for spotting activity. Anyone want to bu...

Wonder if anybody out there has a circuit diagram for the 736R's 1.2Ghz module.

I'm thinking of putting together a proposal to branch 63 to put a narrow band 10GHz beacon up on mount Climie.
As far as I am aware there are no operational 3cm beacons in NZ at all.
Thoughts / Comments ?

get tuned up on 10368 and Ill pop out and send something 12watts on a 90cms dish should find u ok on 3cms!!! I'll take you up on that. Just got to get the dish sorted. How far are you off with the beacon Simon ?, is it going to be located at your qth ?. Would there be any chance of hearing that fro...

Yes, had to retune the filter for that end of the band but my sig gen is audible there. I've got the same problem as vk2rr really not enough signals on the band to test against.

Was hoping to use it to test my narrow band gear !.

lol I had hoped it was xtal controlled !, but alas no such luck.

its not been spotted in years

prob not even radiating!

Yes, had a chat with one of the trustee's and he could not confirm its status, only the fact that there is power to it. Its a gunnplexer so it could be way off frequency or simply dead.

Can anybody in the the Wellington area confirm that the 10.250 GHz beacon is on the air ?.

Hi Simon, I've just been testing my 3cm db6nt transverter and was just about to drop you an email asking what you would recommend for improving the frequency stability. But you've pretty much answered the question. Was wondering if you knew of any designs pll around for locking the MHz local oscilla...
