From: SV8CS @ SV8RV.ZAK.GRC.EU
To : BEACONS @ WW
NCDXF/IARU International Beacon Network series of beacon stations which
operate sequentially. The 10 dB power steps are precise and are useful
for "S" meter calibration and for judging band conditions. The entire
system was designed and built by Foundation volunteers at no cost except
for the actual price of hardware components.
NCDXF/IARU Beacon Tentative Transmission Schedule
The table below gives the minute and second within each hour of the start
of the first transmission of each of the new five-band beacons on each
frequency. Transmissions currently being sent are indicated in bold. Each
transmission is repeated every three minutes. Each transmission consists of
the callsign of the beacon sent at 22 words per minute followed by four
one-second dashes.The callsign and the first dash are sent at 100 watts.
The remaining dashes are sent at 10 watts, 1 watt and 0.1 watts. The actual
starting time of each transmission is approximately twenty milliseconds
after the nominal time due to the keying delay of the transmitter.
Equipment used at each beacon site includes a Kenwood TS-50S transmitter, a
Cushcraft R-5 vertical antenna, a Trimble Navigation AcutimeÖ GPS receiver,
and a controller built by the NCDXF. For more information, contact the
Northern California DX Foundation, P.O. Box 2368, Stanford, CA 94309-2368,
USA.
