The 50.0565 MHz beacon VA7SIX, grid CN89, Coquitlam, British Columbia was
struck by lightning during a severe electrical storm Wednesday afternoon
(May 3rd 2000).
Unfortunately the beacon will off the air for aproximately 2 weeks until
the replacement transmitter is delivered.
The good news is that the new transmitter will be more frequency stable,
10
watts output and a new antenna will be installed 100 ft higher than at
present to take the elevation to 300 ft high. The new antenna will be a
6M Ringo to replace the Halo in order to minimize interference to locals
in the Vancouver area.
