The IARU<\/span> supports, with a small annual grant, a worldwide network of HF<\/span> beacons known as the International Beacon Project (IBP<\/span>)<\/a>. The beacons were constructed by volunteers of the Northern California DX<\/span> Foundation (NCDXF<\/span>) and operate from 18 locations on the following frequencies on a time-shared basis: 14.100, 18.110, 21.150, 24.930, and 28.200 MHz. The NCDXF<\/span>\/IARU<\/span> beacons help both amateur and non-amateur HF<\/span> radio users assess the current condition of the ionosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See IARU<\/span> Region 2 active and inactive beacons here<\/a>.<\/strong> You can download the list as .XLS<\/span>, .XLX<\/span>, .ODS<\/span> or .CSV<\/span>. The PDF<\/span> download option is currently not working. Please send an email to hfbeacon@\u200biaru-\u200br2.\u200borg<\/a> if you see anything that needs to be corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional beacons operate in the 10 meter band from 28.100 MHz to 28.300 MHz and should be coordinated by one of the regional IARU<\/span> Beacon Coordinators following the IARU<\/span> Band Plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amateur Radio Operators desiring to implement any beacon should ensure that it operates within the regulations governing amateur radio operations in each country and consult the appropriate Regional HF<\/span> beacon coordinator. Additional assistance may be obtained from the IARU<\/span> Member Society<\/a> in the country where the beacon will be located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except for short-term experiments such as observation of the effects of solar eclipses the IARU<\/span> does not support the operation of amateur beacons below 14 MHz because of congestion in these bands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
