Visual Beacon heard by W1BW

September 25, 2008 | Amateur Radio | By: Mark VandeWettering

Bruce finally got his grabber back online, and I swiped the following image from it:

In addition to the WSPR digital message, my beacon program sends this “MV” at the same time in the visual portion of the MEPT band. Thanks for you grabber Bruce, very nice.

Addendum: Here’s a later grab, showing the “flying W” of W1BW, along with my own MV.

Addendum2: Eldon (WA0UWH) up in Monroe, WA (near Seattle) sent me an unprompted, unscheduled reception report, including this screengrab. Awesome. He has the frequency up around 10.140090Mhz, but I think I should probably be about 50hz lower, probably a combination of both of our frequency errors.
