Hi. Personally, I think what might be needed is some co-ordination on the lower VHF bands, to initiate something like the HF IBP system, where one frequency is used in turn by a collection of beacons. (Multiple frequencies could still be used, but accommodating multiple beacons per frequency.)
Using a Next Generation Beacon mode, you get not only human readable CW, but machine readable modes so you can leave a PC monitoring to build an appreciation of propagation to/from your location. See: http://www.ncdxf.org/pages/beacons.html http://www.ncdxf.org/beacon/beaconschedule.html Also, for other idea's: http://www.rudius.net/oz2m/ngnb/index.htm and: http://www.gb3vhf.co.uk/GB3VHFReceiving.html for some examples. No affiliation, just idea's, to perhaps avoid many beacons all QRM'ing each other. 73 Dave G0WBX. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 01/07/18 17:03, [email protected] wrote: > Subject: [Elecraft] Proposed: more 6 meter CW beacons > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > 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.
