Ultra-stable microwave beacon

Improvements have been made to the 5.76GHz beacon on Bell Hill, near Blandford in Dorset. GB3SCC has been given a high stability GPS locked frequency standard and DFCWi keying.

The beacon now maintains its nominal frequency of 5760.905007MHz to an accuracy of a few Hertz. Reception reports will be gratefully received by G0API, whose address is correct in the RSGB Yearbook.
