The Six and Ten Report  

IBP (NCDXF) Beacons.

International Beacon Project beacons transmit for ten seconds on each frequency in turn in the sequence shown below. They send callsign at 22 wpm and 100 watts, then four 1-second dashes at 100w, 10w, 1w and 0.1w. Equipment is TS-50, Cushcraft R-5 multiband vertical and a Trimble Navigation GPS receiver to ensure sychronization, with a control unit built by NCDXF. More information on these beacons from the excellent website of the Northern California DX Foundation.
