WG2XPN 70 MHz Beacon update
WG2XPN 70 MHz Beacon update | Southgate Amateur Radio News
Brian WA1ZMS/4, licensee of the 3 kW ERP 70.005 MHz WG2XPN beacon, reports the license has been renewed until May 1, 2017
The Experimental License for WG2XPN with one-way only beacon operations on 70.005 MHz with 3 kW ERPd from here in the US (QTH: FM07fm) has been renewed until May 1, 2017.
As such, it gives the only 4m North American beacon a chance to be heard via TA in the Europe for another 2 years. That’s a good thing in my mind. Thanks again goes to the FCC & the Society of Broadcast Engineers here in the US for their continued support; after all this portion of spectrum is still reserved for TV service only and no US 4m ham band appears possible in the future.
