VK GPS Locked Beacons Project....

To summarise... this Project and the Sponsorship offer of a $200 cash Grant per Beacon Upgrade was originally developed/proposed by me... Alan - VK3XPD in June, 2014. 
Later, the WIA Federal Branch recognised the value of my Proposal to VK Amateur Radio and decided to join me in a Co-Sponsorship arrangement.

As off June 1st, 2015, this Proposal has now ended.
The results of this Co-Sponsored Promotion to upgrade various VK Beacons to full GPS Locking Status were excellent.
A detailed Report has already appeared in the WIA Magazine : Amateur Radio.

The final tally of $200 Grants to Beacon/Club Owners for Beacon Upgrades to full GPS Locking Status that resulted from my Proposal across VK was $3000 !!
Although there were (only) 15 Applications for Beacon $Grants, I am pleased to say that more than 25 VK Beacons were Upgraded to full GPS Locking because of this Promotion.
