Newbie Posts: 3 Joined: 04.05.23	Last weekend I assembled a small beacon using the si5351 clock generator and an arduino nano, considering the really small power I get a really good range of abt 15kms from my QTH, does anyone know of any other beacons on the 11m band ? i tried searching online but all the posts are really old and i can't find an updated list of beacons. According to the hf underground page i set the frequency at 27500, anyone else have a list ? My setup: si5351 10mw mantova turbo 5/8 vertical qth JN44HP message: VVV de 1FRI1429 1FRI1429 JN44HP PWR 10 MW ANT 5/8 VERTICAL any advice is welcome 73 1FRI1429

As soon as I receive the necessary components I will upgrade to 1 watt and maybe implement a wspr one 73
