The Memphis area (EM55) beacons operated on all bands from 10 meters to 10 GHz until 1994.  Click here for information on the Memphis beacons.  In 1994 I relocated to New Kent, VA (FM17kn) and currently have a beacon only on two meters.   Equipment and antennas are on hand for all of the other bands.   Additional technical information on beacons can be found in chapter 3-1 of the ARRL UHF Projects Handbook. Beacon reception can be reported by email to Dave Meier.  Revised Feb 2004.
