The VK3RRU 10 Meter Beacon operates on 28.263MHz CW.

The Beacon uses an Anytone AT5555 10 meter transceiver for TX and an Arduino Uno development board to control the keying. All components are housed in a rack mountable enclosure with additional fan cooling. The antenna is a 1/2 wave vertical (a modified "stationmaster"). The VK3RRU beacon sends the following message at 14WPM, with a 30 second pause:

"VK3RRU VK3RRU - QF15AT MILDURA - PWR 20W - VK3RRU@GMAIL.COM"
