Old beacon hardware moving to Michigan

On a cool note, our old 6 meter beacon hardware (modified FT-690R pictured at left) will be placed into service in Michigan.  K8JA/B will operate on 50.062 Mhz from EN82.  This should be easily copied here in central VA when the band pops open later this year.  It’s cool that not only are we able to upgrade our gear, but help get another beacon on the air.
