I operate a 10 meter beacon on 28.207.80. It is a Radio Shack HTX-10 10 meter radio running about 5 watts into a dipole horizontal, keyed in USB mode with a 800 hz tone. The Keyer is an ID-O-Matic II from Hamgadgets. http://www.hamgadgets.com/ It is cheap,and easy to build and program. It is from Dale Botkin N0XAS , check out his website if you are looking for a real good keyer for a beacon or repeater.
Thanks to Bill Hayes W5JO for all his help. If you are planning on building a beacon check Bill's site at http://userpages.troycable.net/~wj5o/ for lots of good information on getting started.
Now for some pictures of my setup.
