After some years off air, this beacon is now operational again on 50.049 carrier frequency (+- temperature related drift).
It is working on a 'semi-intermittent' basis into Warwick's 6m Yagi ... e.g. the beacon is running when he is not on 6m himself.
Some 'last minute' things still to attend to:
Changing the ID to read Warwick's new locator - BI01xa (it is still sending his old locator - BI00xx)
Upgrading the solar power system with items on hand to improve reliability and protect the battery
