New HF beacon up
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has activated a new
HF beacon transmittter, in Sveio, Norway, as part of a worldwide HF
field strength measurement campaign. The new beacon was provided by
the Norwegian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and Norwegian
Telecom, and joins a similar beacon station on the air from
Australia since 1990.
LN2A operates 24 hours a day, 1 kW on CW to a 5-band trap vertical
antenna.
VK4IPS in Brisbane, Australia also operates 24 hours a day, running
1 kW to an omni-directional spiral antenna.
The schedule of frequencies (in kHz) for both is as follows:
Time (min past hr) VK4IPS LN2A
00 20 40 5470 14405
04 24 44 7870 20945
08 28 48 10407 5470
12 32 52 14405 7870
