OZ7IGY – 9 cm and 13 cm beacons now on Next Generation Beacons platform

Today both the 9 cm and the 13 cm OZ7IGY beacons have been migrated to the Next Generation Beacons platform http://www.rudius.net/oz2m/ngnb

The 9 cm and 13 cm beacon are now frequency and time locked to GPS. The sequence is timed to start at 00 second sending PI4 followed by a short pause then CW ID sending callsign and locator, then pause and carrier until next cycle. The nominal frequency remains the same, i.e. 2320,930 MHz and 3400,930 MHz respectively. To decode PI4 tune your receiver to 800 Hz below the nominal frequency, just like you do when you want to decode a normal CW signal at 800 Hz. On most radios this is a USB dial of 2.320.929.200 for the 13 cm beacon and 3.400.929.200 for the 9 cm beacon
