Update: December 2011, in the next few weeks my beacons will be on the air again and phase locked using JWM Engineering PLO bricks, a DEMi 10 MHz distribution amplifier, and a Spetctrum Instruments, Inc. (see my Home Page) TM-4, GPS-disciplined DOXCO at 10 MHz.  The lower 3 beacons will be locked on its band at .180, e.g. 2304.180.  10G will be locked at 10,368.160.  General weather (heat) and hurricane Irene have put a kink in our re-activation plans but we will get them back on soon.  Stay tuned for further updates.  With thanks to W8ZN for his tireless assistance.
