OK0EP is a 70 cm band beacon, built by OK1VPZ in 1981 and turn to the operation already in 1982. This beacon is located on Praded hill in Jeseniky Mountains (north-east of Czech Republic, just on the border between JO80OC and JO80OB locators), at the height about 1500 m a.s.l., installed at the 3.rd floor of the TV transmitter tower. As of June 1985 when the equipment was upgraded the beacon is continuously in the operation without any interuption. It seems to be one of the most stable and reliable UHF beacons in Europe.
