6m - 50 MHz - hamradio
searching the six meter beacons calculator for distance and azimuth |
OE1SMC
this page brings information about beacons on the 6m-band. you have
to enter your qth-locator as 6-digit string
( the maidenhead grid locator, for example JN88DD - lower case and optional 4-digit is possible ) and the max distance in km.
( value between 100 and 21000 km ) you will get a sorted list
of worldwide 50 mhz beacons, up to the distance you entered. the sort criteria is azimuth per default. alternatively you can select the frequency, the distance or the beacons call to sort the result.
I would be pleased to see your call-sign in the optional field.
if you have some additional information or you know, that some data
in this page are wrong, please inform me. the information i need
is: frequency, call, qth-locator and maybe power, city, state and
other userfull infos about a new beacon. we all will benefit from your
input. you can send your information via e-mail to info17.50mhz@ma.yer.at
notice: i am looking for audio-files of recordings of beacons. if you have some, please submit to me.
google earth beacon map open beacon6m.kmz with google earth and you will get a world wide map of all 6m-beacons with description. this information may be (but must not) a little bit out-of-date you get the current facts of the database of all 6m-beacons, if you request for an individually google earth map ( see below ) ( google earth version 4 or higher required ) if you don't have google earth installed, you can inform and download at google earth |
 |
your individually google earth map
you can request a personal google earth map per e-mail.
the difference to the above is the fact, you see additional azimuth in
degrees and the distance in km for each 6m-beacon in relation to your
location. simple send an e-mail to beacon.calc-17@ma.yer.at
with the following 2 lines as text ( no html , no attachement )
QCX: YOURCALL
QTH: the-6-digit-maidenhead-grid-locator
beware, there are 2 keywords ( QCX: and QTH: ) with each 4 characters
and in front of the : there is no space and after it, there is a space,
here an example:
QCX: OE1SMC
QTH: JN88DD
if all is ok, you will receive within the next hours ( maybe
minutes - hi ) an automatic generated answer-mail. this e-mail has an attached file with
extension .kml - save this in the filesystem and open it with google
earth. if something is wrong with the content of your e-mail, you won't
be informed. if there are any problems, feel free to contact me
directly per e-mail.
if this info is useful for you, feel free to link this page.
and good luck on the magic band
