Victoria in QF02wh is QRT and no more. I am told old and unwilling
to risk climbing to repair antenna at height and the beacon was
located too far from any other 6M enthusiasts who were prepared
to assist. With SMART metering the minmum quarterly cost had escalated
from the low $40 mark to over $58 per 1/4 year. I personally funded
the beacon from 1984 with countless equipment changes, and antenna
and power costs. A storm in 2009 stripped feedlines from both the
10M and 6M yagis and i am too old and tired to climb up a hundred
feet. Kyrgyzstan, EX. 6m Beacon. Oleg, EX8MLT, in Kyrgyzstan, has activated the first constantly operating radio beacon for 6 meters in his country. The callsign for the radio beacon is EX1SIX.
