Welcome to Tropical band

To most people the phrase "tropical bands" bring a pretty clear picture to mind - a bunch of shirtless guys playing calypso music. But to experienced shortwave DXers those two little words express the most challenging and enjoyable part of the radio hobby. The phrase kindles memories of a DXer's best catches and favorite QSLs, of exotic stations, music and of early morning listening sessions. (Don Moore)
I like the "Tropical band" name for new 60m allocation. (OK1RP)

Hungarian 60m band beacon HG7BHB on 5357kHz

Hello,
 
if you realized, there is new 60m beacon in Hungary on 5357kHz. I listenned to this beacon for several evennings and it was heard every time perfectly with strong signal over S9 using the HA7SO private callsign.
 
The Hungarian CW Beacon on 5357 kHz has now changed it's callsign to HG7BHB from the temporary one of private HA7SO and as it is reported the power has been reduced from 100 to 50W only. The antenna is a Diamond BB-6W wideband HF antenna at a height of 4m only.
(Thanks HA7PL, MRASZ Secretary, G4MWO and others)

  5. Not very strong, but clear signal at 16:30UTC 5352.5 kHz, with a Collins 651S-1, in Rome-Italy. Antenna is only a Windom for 40m; a proper antenna would certainly provide a better signal. 73 de IZ0WIT

  10. Leo, what you mean "you" in the message? I am not related to this beacon! You need to contact the owner in Hungary... 73 - Petr, OK1RP
