Point taken concerning the power of these beacons, Steve, though I thought 
SQM was somewhat more powerful than that....it's just that here, if I don't 
heard SQM, I don't hear other Alaskans either.   (In fact, SQM is usually 
my only Alaskan at home)

Also, 525 is a unique frequency in North America isn't it?   A carrier 
there could indicate an opening to the more distant DXer....

Hmm, I notice PAL lists Nome area beacon "FDV" on 529 at 400w....anybody 
heard it?  A carrier on 529 would indicate Alaska, as the only beacons 
there seem to be Alaskan.

best wishes,

Nick
