New Australian 6-metre beacon

The Barossa Amateur Radio Club are happy to announce that their new 6 meter propagation beacon is now operational.

Located on Mt Kitchener in the Barossa Valley at 580 meters above sea level and operating at a frequency of 50.315 Mhz, this beacon will provide a much needed propagation indicator at a frequency closer to the main ssb activity.

The beacon, VK5RBV has an output power of 12 watts into a horizontal halo antenna.

Reports can be emailed to vk5brc@gmail.com or better still send a QSL card via the bureau to the club call VK5BRC,

73 and good DX from the Barossa Amateur Radio Club".
