I was on 14.100.4 from 2005-2341z Saturday. Had I known/remembered about this beacon stuff, I would have been on a different frequency. What bothers me about this whole thing of the "Hall of Shame" is the public forum that it posted in. A simple email to me Saturday would have been suffice to get me to move, not the deliberate QRM'ing and trying to tell me something from the other side of the country when I am beaming to EU, because I simply ignored it. My email address is not a secret, it's on my QRZ profile! Also, how can you be a "repeat offender" per the list when I was there for 3.5 hours, wouldn't that be considered one offense, technically? I have been doing some thinking about this over the last couple of days and have come to a couple conclusions: 1.) The beacon network is important, and I will be considerate of it in the future by not transmitting from 14099.4 to 14100.6. 2.) People take this hobby WAY too seriously. It is a HOBBY and you should be considerate of other people, bash them to their face (direct email) instead in a public forum! 3.) If I was causing interference to the beacons, what is the justification for sending RTTY to me for 1/2 hour trying to get me to move? (I would love an answer to that one.) Were they not causing just as much interference by calling me from a different geographical region? 4.) Again, how did the arbitrary 17 stations get listed and why was I listed first? I guess life has one thing on us, we never see it coming... 73 de Anthony, WM3T Need a Digital mode QSO?
