[Lf] Re: wa2xtf/12 reception in PA

[Andre' Kesteloot]

Thank you Steve, for the reception report.
A description of our strange antenna is available on the ARRL members only
web site.
We plan to turn ON again soon, the other WA2XTF beacon (/6) from Vienna
Virginia. The Vienna one is on 136.750 whilst the one you hear for the
moment is on 136.745. With a dsp program, you should then be able to see
both, 5 HZ apart on your computer screen.

 and thanks again for your (moral) support
