Beacons

Hi
Just got the 4 Metre gear going.
Could somebody let me know if the following beacons are in service.
GB3WSX
GB3MCB
GW3MHW
I can hear GB3ANG ok and heard GW3MHW and GB3MCB last year, but nothing in the last couple of days.
Thanks

Re: Beacons

I visited John GW3MHW at Easter and I can confirm that his beacon(s) are off. GB3WSX was strong with me (in SW Surrey) Tuesday evening, 18 May and I have also heard GB3MCB recently.

Re: Beacons

I understand that GB3WSX was off air for a while last week, due to power supply failure, but I did hear it from 600ft asl in South Cumbria (IO84ME, near to the late G3FDW's QTH) last Tuesday evening.
The ANG and MCB beacons were also audible from that QTH.

Hi Peter
Glad to have you back on the band, its sort of quiet in the NW at the moment on SSB! Only heard GB3MCB on MS pings and Aurora in the last few nonths and still nothing from GB3WSX. Like you nothing from GW3MHW since it moved away from the old frequency of 70.053Mhz!

Cheers
