Also in GB2RS this week…
The Edinburgh 23cm microwave beacon GB3EDN is back on the air after a move to a new location on the south side of Edinburgh.
It has moved about 1.5km south from its previous site in the University of Edinburgh, King’s Buildings Campus.
The operating frequency is 1296.990MHz.
It sends its callsign and QRA locator in both FSK and JT4 once per minute.
The new site is about 200m higher than the previous site and it is hoped that coverage is somewhat improved.
It has a clear view from north-west through to the east, giving good coverage up the east coast, and across the North Sea to Scandinavia.
It is also hoped that there will be better propagation to the south from the new site.
More details are available on the Beacons link on Lothians Radio Society’s website at lothiansradiosociety.com.
