May I raise a word of caution and suggest that you carefully consider the frequency of any beacon in view of the international use of the band.

 50.000-50.030 MHz reserved for a Synchronised Beacon Project *Region-1: *50.000-50.010; *Region-2: *50.010-50.020; *Region-3: *50.020-50.030

 General beacons have migrated to 50.4-50.5 MHz, to create more space for Telegraphy and the new Synchronised Beacon Project.

 Perhaps a word with regular users of the band may be a useful way forward.

When 6 meters opens up, a few low-power CW beacons I’ve never heard always pop up in the low end of the band. We could use a lot more of these during sporadic-E seasons. If you have a 6-meter-capable QRP rig gathering dust and an antenna to put it on, you might consider joining in. In addition to giving us a few more data points on propagation, it’s a novel way of promoting CW use.

If you decide to put a beacon on the air, please let us know so we can all listen for it.
