I would like to let everyone know of a new ten metre band beacon that has been operating for the last 6 months or so, about 27 Kilometres N/W of Brisbane City at the my home QTH, I'm Robert VK4LA.

The beacon is Located In Northlakes and is homebrew . It operates using callsign VK4LA and is on 28.205.8 cw.

The beacon consists of a 5 watt Transmitter with a 1/2 wave vertical antenna 35ft off the ground.

I would appreciate some signal reports from all who can hear it.

If you wish to send a signal report VIA EMAIL, my email address is huntingqld@bigpond.com and I also have some photos of beacon in use to view on my page on qrz.com

Looking forward to getting some signal reports from all.
