Hi Bo

Grid locator is OG71ih

I've not heard it in Perth but has been spotted in JA several times in last few weeks.

Thanks Nigel. I also have seen it reported several times lately, but it didn't show up on the map. So I have now added it to the ON4KST chat database.

From memory???
I think it uses a beam. Pointing?
According to VKSpotter, it is "A moxon pointing to the east"
