Kent Microwave Beacons Closed Down Permanently

We reported two weeks ago that the GB3NWK microwave beacons, located near 
Orpington in Kent, were off the air. We have now been informed that the two 
beacons, which operated on 1296.81 and 2320.85MHz, will not be returning to 
service. Changes to the status of the site where the beacons are located has 
meant that it is no longer suitable for this purpose. Therefore, after 20 
years of operation on 23-centimetres and 16 years on 13-centimetres, these 
beacons are now closed down permanently.

W2UHI:  did NOT get on the moon this morning.. 23cm activity has been on the
        increase over the past few years.

        F6KSX..

K5WXN:  been tweaking up the system.. working on preamps.. how is 70cm these days?
        System does not seem to be performing all that well .. needs to update
        directory and will send info.. Dan feels that 70cm activity is down a bit
        and seems to be more European activity than US activity.. 70cm activity
        may be down due to some stations moving to 23cm and not returning to 432.
