Launched earlier in November 2016, Bo, OX3LX/OZ1DJJ, has activated a new Greenlandic beacon OX4M on the air from Ittoqqortoormiit in HQ90AL.
The frequency is 70,047 MHz running 25 W into a dipole radiating North/South.
The beacon transmits PI4 + CW + carrier and has a sister beacon OX6M on 50,047 MHz too.
Due to interference problems from a digital source, the Southern Ireland Repeater Group have advised that is has become necessary to put tone access on the EI7MLR repeater (430.950MHz) on Mount Leinster.
The tone to be used on EI7MLR is 156.7Hz.

The Southern Ireland Repeater Group's 70cm repeater EI7FXR located at Farmer's Cross in Cork City was upgraded recently to a Motorola MTR 2000, replacing the long serving Motorola MC Compact that has been in service on the site for many years.
The new unit has a power output of 30 watts to the antenna and is more sensitive on receive than the old one, which should improve coverage across the Cork region.
Work was carried out by Neil Powell EI3JE.
