Over 100 amateur radio beacon audio files are presented, offering a direct auditory experience of propagation conditions across a wide spectrum of frequencies, from 1.8 MHz to 47 GHz. These recordings, primarily captured by IW3FZQ and IK3NWX, document signals from beacons such as DK0WCY, IY4M, GB3RAL, and S55ZRS, providing a valuable resource for **propagation study** and **beacon monitoring**. Each entry in the list specifies the beacon's callsign, its operating frequency in kHz, and the recording operator. This compilation includes signals from beacons located in various grid squares like JN55VF, JO44VQ, and IO91IN, illustrating diverse geographical origins. The frequencies covered span the 160m, 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m, 6m, 4m, 2m, 70cm, 23cm, 6cm, 3cm, 1.2cm, and 6mm amateur bands. Users can listen to these recordings to identify characteristic beacon tones and observe signal strength variations. The resource also invites other radio amateurs to contribute their own beacon audio files, fostering a collaborative archive of propagation data. The last update to this collection was on March 24, 2009, indicating a historical snapshot of beacon activity. Accessing the files requires the Real Player software.

Monitoring real-time amateur radio activity is essential for DXers and contesters seeking rare contacts or tracking propagation. This online service aggregates DX spots from various **DX Cluster** networks, presenting them visually on a world map. Users can observe new spots as they appear, facilitating quick identification of active stations and potential openings. The platform offers filtering capabilities, allowing operators to narrow down displayed spots by specific bands such as 160m, 80m, 40m, 20m, 10m, and even VHF/UHF segments like 70cm and 23cm. Further refinement is possible by selecting the source continent of the spotter or the continent of the DX station, which assists in strategic operating. The service also includes a "Hot Now" list, highlighting currently active stations with recent spots. This dynamic display supports informed decision-making for pursuing **DX contacts** across different bands and geographical regions.

The W6PQL 23cm Beacon Project describes a **1296 MHz** beacon designed for microwave propagation studies and equipment testing, capable of 30 watts output. It utilizes a PIC 16F628A microcontroller to generate CW and FSK keying for a crystal oscillator, followed by a series of frequency doublers and triplers to reach the target frequency. The final power amplification stage employs a Mitsubishi M57762 module, providing a robust 10-watt RF output. The design emphasizes stability and reliability for continuous operation, with the microcontroller code, written in assembly, provided for customization of the beacon's callsign and message. Originally located in CM97am and aimed at 140 true, the beacon used four 4-foot Yagis stacked vertically for a total ERP of 3kW. The article includes schematics, parts lists, and construction notes to guide builders, along with antenna pattern measurements. Although the beacon itself is no longer in service as of August 2010, the detailed documentation remains a valuable reference for amateur radio operators interested in building similar **microwave** projects or understanding beacon operation.

The WSJT Log Viewer, version 1.0.0.10 as of 2026-08-02, is a freeware Windows application developed by Carsten Groen (OZ9AAR) for analyzing signal strengths from WSJT digital mode contacts. It processes the ALL.TXT log file generated by WSJT-X, extracting and presenting data from decoded TX and RX messages. Initially designed for EME operations on 70cm and 23cm, the software has expanded to include all HF bands, 6m, 4m, 2m, 1.25m, 70cm, 23cm, 24GHz, and 47GHz. Key features include displaying total QSOs, unique callsigns, days with activity, and signals heard, with filtering options by band and completed QSOs. The application also monitors the ALL.TXT file for live updates every two seconds, reflecting new decodes in real-time. Users can view session logs, activity charts showing daily signal counts and decoded signals, and a "Top Partners" tab listing the 25 most frequent contacts. The software provides detailed QSO information, including best received SNR and sent reports, with graphical representations of SNR over time. It supports multiple "My Callsign" entries within a single ALL.TXT file and offers a function to generate a text list of initials worked per band. The program is distributed as a single executable file, requiring no installation, and stores its configuration in a LogViewer.cfg file, allowing for different setups via command-line arguments.
