Reception of the IARU/NCDXF International Beacon Project beacons.
Location: Skälebräcke, Kungälv, Sweden. JO57xv
Latitude: N 57º 53' 31.46", Longitude: E 11º 59' 34.06"
The receiver is a Yaesu FT-817 connected to a 160 meters square horizontal loop, 10 meters above ground.
Monitoring software is Faros, created by Alex Shovkoplyas.
Data is uploaded to website every 3 minutes with AVPSOFT Save2FTP
Faros is finally running on a HP DC7700 together with Skimmer. The Skimmer SDR-IQ listens on a 40m OCF dipole up 15 meters.
The only thing left is a good 6 meter monitor, but the SDR-IQ is all I can afford for now :-)
