sporadic E, find only one and JBA, WA6APQ, which is 30 watts from a
vertical in Long Beach CA. Reference recently updated:
https://www.qsl.net/wj5o/bcn.htm >From his qrz.com page: ``WA6APQ USA flag USA
DEWEY MYERS, 2903 Monogram Ave, LONG BEACH, CA 90815 USA The WA6APQ BEACON on 28.2440 MHz is located on a 330 foot hill (Signal
Hill) in Long Beach, California. Radio is a Motorola Mitrek consolette
base station, 30 watts, antenna is Antron 99 vertical. Code speed is
approx. 10 wpm and operates 24/7. Since 1993. If you would like a beacon QSL card, send SASE or SAE with $ 1.00 (no
IRC's) or email for a printable QSL card. Include the standard (RST)
signal report, UTC time and date. Audio/Video and Youtube recordings
are welcome. Thank you for looking.`` I was about to send him a report, but email address is censored unless
you are a ham member, even tho 2-way contacts with beacons are
impossible! So much for that. It was on the verge of inaudibility, and
could copy only fragments, some letters of which may be incorrect: E E
E DE WA6APQ LO CH CA It kept fading at the last letter which I
thought was G, but this call in -Q matches the listing as I missed one
dah. I assume the others were part of LONG BEACH. There was a little more non-beacon activity: a phone QSO on 28380-USB
at 1807; and at 1818 on 28400-USB KB5RJ# in Albuquerque? with a K9;
two stations often talking over each other. Not much skip sweeping
thru the CB; At 1816 on 25000, WWV JBA from CO, both NM and CO in the
500-mile range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2086) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2086 contents: Brasil, (Bulgaria),

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 First broadcasts confirmed less than an hour after completion, UT Fri
May 14 at 0130 on WRMIs: 7780, S9 but noisy; 5850 S9+20/30/40 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7570, May 14 at 0626, WRMI-11 is finally back on air, with
what else? Dead Brother Scare. S9+40 since it`s the NW/315 degree
antenna aimed right at us across mid-America. By April 6, it had
vanished shortly after his QRT April 3, in reduxion of total Overkill
hours? Or was it tech problem? 7570 had however stayed on the WRMI
sked fortuitously dated April 2 and still so tho certainly modified
since then, if not totally uptodate: WRMI-11 7570: at 00-11 TOMBS,
11-14 SMTV, 14-16 Sat only additional TOMBS. I never got around to
checking what became of those SMTV hours: was she still on 7570, or
elsefrequencied? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, May 14 at 0622, RV X 3 is S6-S8 of island music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1608 UT May 14
