Beacons of the Wellington VHF Group
The Wellington VHF Group run a number of beacons on various frequencies. They serve as a measure of time and distance - to give amateurs an idea of where exactly the signal they are hearing is originating from. Beacons are particularly useful for operators attempting to work 'DX' (distant contacts), as they can provide a bearing for calibration, and an indicator of propagation conditions.
Wellington VHF Group beacons include:
- Lower Hutt 32 cm
- Hawkins Hill 1.2cm
- Hawkins Hill 3cm
- Hawkins Hill 23cm
- Hawkins Hill 70cm
- Hawkins Hill 2m
Further information on each of these will be found in this section.
