This category collects resources dedicated to 10-meter amateur radio beacons, which are specialized transmitters operating within the 28 MHz band. These beacons serve as critical tools for radio amateurs, providing continuous signal transmissions that enable real-time assessment of propagation conditions. By monitoring the presence and strength of these signals, operators can gain insights into the current state of the ionosphere, identifying openings and closures that affect long-distance communication on the 10-meter band. The information derived from these beacons is instrumental for planning and optimizing amateur radio operations, particularly for those interested in DX contacts.

The resources within this section typically include detailed information about individual beacon stations, such as their operating frequencies, call signs, locations, and technical specifications. Many entries provide insights into the antenna systems and power levels employed by these beacons, offering valuable data for those wishing to set up their own monitoring stations or contribute to the beacon network. Additionally, this category encompasses guides and articles that explain the principles of 10-meter propagation, the methodology for monitoring beacon signals, and how to interpret the received data for practical application in amateur radio activities.
