We always appreciate your reports, posts to the DX cluster and QSL cards for reception reports as we contribute to the study of propagation on these two great bands. The current suite of beacons were designed and built by N4MW. Thanks go to many people who have contributed to our beacon projects over the years including W4GNE, KG4SNN, WB4KXS, KG4YJB and KI4BWJ.
