W4CJB/B (Beacon) is on the air. The frequency is 28.254 Mhz.

I Started running a beacon on Feb 27, 2011.

The beacon itself is a converted, old 23 channel cobra 29 cb and uses a PicoKeyer-Plus kit from HamGadgets for the keyer.

It is putting 2 watts into a 10 meter hamstick at about 15 feet.

The cb conversion is in large part credited to WJ5O- Bill. Without his help I most likely would have just trashed the project.

Please send me an email if you log it. - kj4qob@yahoo.com
