KB4UPI 10 Meter Beacon 28.255 Mhz    

    This 10 meter beacon is located in Cherokee county near Centre, Alabama on the banks of beautiful Weiss Lake in grid square EM-64 with latitude 34.1675 longitude 85.5840. Elevation is 575 feet. The transmitter is running 5 watts into a dipole antenna. It is located in the corner of my garage with the dipole directly above about 20 feet high. I upgraded the transmitter (Feb 2011) with a HTX-100 synthesized radio. It runs 5 watts and has a much cleaner signal than the converted CB's I have been using for many years. 

    QSL reports in any form are welcomed. I QSL 100 per cent worldwide to ham operators and SWL's.  Copy the short message if you wish. All I need for a QSL is the frequency, time, date, and signal report. Send me the info and I will send you a QSL card. My address is 5568 So. Shades Crest Road, Bessemer, AL 35022. If you would like to send me a report via email you may send it to Mick*LindleyOnline.com. The at sign is replaced to prevent email harvesting.

    The above picture from left to right is the backup battery, the MFJ-484 keyer (hamfest deal at $20), the radio, swr/power meter, and power supply. 

This is a view of the house and garage. The dipole is over the front corner of the garage.

The last picture 180 degrees from the above is of the lake, our boat dock, and the boat ramp. See this link http://lindleyonline.com/webcam/weiss/weiss.htm for our two webcams and the online player for the Cherokee county Sheriff's office and fire depts.

Please QSL! Mick, KB4UPI
