The complete time table and frequencies of operation for these
beacons can be obtained from the NCDXF, P.O. BOX 2368, STANFORD,
CA 94309-2368, USA, or on the WW Web at:
NCFDXF BEACON PAGE
Each transmission is repeated every three minutes. A transmission
consists of the callsign of the beacon sent at 22 words per minute
followed by four one-second dashes. The callsign and the first dash
are sent at 100 watts. The remaining dashes are sent at 10 watts,
1 watt and 0.1 watts. The actual starting time of each transmission
is approximately twenty milliseconds after the nominal time due to
the keying delay of the transmitter.
Equipment used at each beacon site includes a Kenwood TS-50S
transmitter, a Cushcraft R-5 vertical antenna, a Trimble
Navigation Acutime GPS receiver, and a controller built by the NCDXF.
EXTRA NOTE ON NCDXF/IARU BEACONS
If you are interested in the Beacon project and want to track
them as they run through their schedule on the different bands,
then you might be interested in KF0IA's (Stan Huntting) Windows
based program called BeaconClock. This program takes the trouble
out of figuring which beacon is transmitting when and on what band.
It is available for both WIN 95/WIN 3.1 OS from Stan's KaWin Web Page.
The 16 bit version may require additional run-time files which are
available from the link on his page at URL:

THIS LIST IS BY NO MEANS COMPLETE AND TOTALLY ACCURATE. BUT WITH
YOUR HELP IT WILL BE UPDATED AND CORRECTED AS ADDITIONS, DELETIONS,
AND CORRECTIONS ARE CONFIRMED. NOTE THAT I HAVE ADDED A NEW FIELD
TO THE LIST, THE OPERATION FIELD. THIS IS USED WHEN CONFORMATION
OF ON-AIR ACTIVE IS HEARD OR REPORTED. IF YOU HEAR A BEACON THAT
IS NOT CONFIRMED BY "#" IN THE OP COLUMN, PLEASE SEND ANY INFO
TO ME SO I MIGHT UPDATE THE LIST. ALSO, IF YOU HAVE MORE INFORMATION
ON A BEACON THAT IS LISTED HERE OR INFORMATION ON A BEACON THAT IS
NOT LISTED HERE, PLEASE SEND IT AND THE SOURCE OF THE INFO TO:
INTERNET... [email protected]
