I heard from a couple of ops that the weak-signal community would prefer beacons be located higher in the band, say above 50.150.
According to published references I’ve seen, beacons reside from 50.060-50.090, and that is where I have found them (for many years). If this is a problem, someone should get the word out. One reference in extensive use is the one from Nifty! manuals. See 6 m listings.
