These beacons are on 28.200 megacycles. No missed capitols, how pee week
trying to spoil a good topic again. Some people are lucky they got a knob
on their "VFO" other wise their hand would slip off.Since when is
listening on 49 Mhz operating out of band.
Getting back to the subject
I have DX atlas software and if you know your correct grid location it
will tell you the long and short path from any given point, or any other
two grid points any where on this great flat earth.
From PF96hc my qth to JA3IGY PM96cg aprox 7750 km short path 32250 km LP
From PF96hc VR2B OL72bj aprox 6830 km short path 33170 km LP.
