LA7SIX LA7SIX was the first 50 MHz beacon in Northern Scandinavia, and its the only one in Norway. The transmitter provides 30 W of RF power on 50.051 MHz into a 4-element-yagi antenna. The furthest observation was made in February 1992 by CN8ST in Morocco (~4200 km) through F2-propagation. 50 MHz is most attractive for newcomers, because of frequent Sporadic-E and Aurora-E openings and the small budget for equipment required. |
