I cant answer those questions sorry Bo. Someone from VK6 would need to make some comments.
I believe previously the beacon was located on the property of Bill VK6AS (sk) in Esperance. He passed away quite some time back and thus the WA VHF Group are unable to find a site to relocate the beacon to I believe. But someone from the WA VHF Group may care to make comment on the situation.
The WA VHF Group website is here http://www.wavhfgroup.org.au/
Their beacon page is here http://www.wavhfgroup.org.au/beacons
The main issue is that Esperance is a long way away from the capital of Perth so logistics and maintenance, without a dedicated ham in Esperance is a problem.
I made this recording of VK6AS in Esperance on 2m SSB in 2005 would you believe?
