30 Metre QRSS Beacon Calibrated

Well, it has only been about 6 months, but I've finally "finished" the 30 metre QRSS beacon. Sure, it has been in operation for months getting seen all over the planet, but it is nice to at last have it in what might be called a completed state, even if the changes are only cosmetic.

Some recent work in designing a "one chip" beacon around David VK6DI's ideas has renewed the interest and finally got me to sit down with baudline and the FT817 and draw up the frequency and shift width dial labels.

OK, so it is not the most beautiful job, but I finally get to take the project out of the "Work in Progress" category. That only leaves about a two dozen to go!
