Alaska 10 meter Beacon AL7FS at new location

I initially activated an Alaska beacon at 2245Z on 14th of June 2006. It is now a permanent beacon and will be operational full time.

The AL7FS beacon is on the air at a new and better location with a new and better antenna (as of Dec 2, 2006).

KL7JGN, Lloyd Fuller, was instrumental in
1. arranging for the new QTH,
2. providing the new antenna and installing it,
3. providing the new power supply for the beacon.
Thank you, Lloyd!
