[600MRG] WD2XSH/12 CW beacon loud this morning

[Michael Mussler]

Thanks for “being there” and for the nice report John! I activated the WD2XSH/12 CW beacon ahead of the Rocky Mountain Division HamCon this weekend. I plan to do a 630m demo following my 630m presentation If I can find a quiet spot someplace outside the convention center. I’ll leave the beacon running through Saturday evening.

73,
