[amsat-bb] [VHF] VHF/UHF Beacons in EM63pf

[Gedas]

Hi Les and very FB on the beacons. Can you tell me what the 2m antenna 
is and how high the antenna is above the ground below it and also if the 
tower is on a mountain peak and what it's elevation is? That will give 
us a real good idea of what the setup looks like. I will certainly have 
a listen for it and report back.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
