Re: [IRCA] Heard my first beacon!

Beacons are fun. I tracked down all of the ones at the local airports around me. I'm not proficient at Morse Code so I always had to sit with a sheet of paper with the code on it and do each letter and/or number one by one as it was transmitted. It would take me several minutes to do each one, but it was fun while it lasted. I never attempted to get a QSL Card from anyone though.
