VHF-UHF-SHF beacon UR0DMW KN18JS Western part of Ukraine was long time the "hic sunt leones" area on the map of the VHF amateur radio beacons. Due to that we are very pleasured to announce launch of the new beacon UR0DMW, operated from 1140m ASL on all classic VHF bands from 6m to 3cm. This beacon is based on DB6NT components and should be quite stable in the operation, although some possible minor frequency drifts are possible due to the temperature. Antennas are in horizontal polarization. We have already reception report in OK, when OK2BFH from JN99JQ observed this beacon signals on 144 and 432 MHz on the level abt. 539.
