Update: We’re back on the air as of 4 December 2019. Please post reception reports via your favorite retail DX cluster.
As of 4 June 2020, the original transmitter is back in service. It seems to be running at slightly reduced power but that should not impact receivability when the band is open. Already reports have been received from EM31 and EM60.
(Previous post:)
The NF8M/B beacon at 50.0763 MHz is shut down effective 22 November 2019.
The beacon has been using a temporary transmitter (first a Kenwood TS-690, then a Yaesu FT-817 after lightning damaged the 690). I’m working on a replacement for the transmitter and don’t wish to tie up the 817 for a long period of time; thus, the shutdown.
I hope to have another transmitter in place in the near future and apologize for the service interruption.
