<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial">I want to thank everyone who
had some input regarding beacons that needed updating in the
WZ1V beacon database. We all owe Ron a big thank you for
maintaining this list for so many years. Ron can you pse PM me
to let me know you got this mail?<br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial"> Included in this e-mail is an
attachment from Al, W5LUA that lists details of beacons in the
DFW area.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial">I do not think it is
unreasonable to ask that beacon owners notify Ron every year
or two to let him know that the beacon(s) they own are still
operational with correct information. It is up to Ron but if
it were me maintaining the list and I did not hear from a
beacon owner after several years I would scratch the entry
from the list.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial"><font size="+2"><font
face="Arial">I will also say </font></font><font
size="+2"><font face="Arial"><font size="+2"><font
face="Arial">I am in favor for </font></font>a new
column be added for the date when the beacon information
was last revised. If not known then that entry spot would
just be blank.</font></font></font></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial">Here is the information I was
given (in no particular order).....if you see an error or a
beacon that needs to be added or deleted please let Ron know
directly rather than letting me know.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+2"><font face="Arial">I am still not clear of the
status of several beacons in Illinois with the fall of the
K9KL tower and which beacons will be put back up and if so
where. To the ops in Illinois please send any updates or
status reports to Ron so we all know (and also update your
entries in RS.COM) !<br>

this ball rolling. 73</font></font></p>
