BEACONS AT POLDHU. Finally, we would like to apologise to any amateurs who have been inconvenienced by the short GB3SSS transmissions on 1960kHz. The two metre beacon GB3SSS, on 144.406MHz, continues to operate at 25W input, giving approximately 200erp. This is still beaming to the Caribbean. Our Sister Club,The Marconi Club of Newfoundland has a beacon, VX9MRC on 577.77kHz if heard please send report to Joe Craig VO1NA at jcraig[AT]mun.ca. Updated Nov 22, 2011.
