USA 70.005 MHz beacon WE9XFT operationalOn Monday May 3, at 12:00 UT, a 70 MHz beacon WE9XFT in Bedford, Virginia became operational and it may be receivable in the British Isles and Europe. In January Brian Justin WA1ZMS filed an application with the FCC for special temporary authority to operate an propagation beacon on 70.005 MHz from Bedford, Virginia for domestic as well as trans-Atlantic reception. The beacon is now operational on a non-amateur experimental license since there isn't a 70 MHz Amateur band in the United States. It is operating 24 hours a day and the experimental license runs until September 1. WE9XFT is running 3kW ERP on 70.005 MHz beaming towards the British Isles and Europe. Reception reports should be sent to Brian Justin WA1ZMS email: wa1zms<at>att.net
