Whilst your list can be construed as informative, contentious,
destructive etc etc depending on your point of view, it really
highlights the nonsense of trying to maintain a beacon system in the
middle of a very active band. Whilst education should work, surely
95% of the problem could have

Hi,
While I enjoy the use of the beacons, (and try and stay away from the
freqs), I agree with the last post, the idea of putting them in the middle
of the band was not a scaleable, or even a well thought out solution.
Unless there has been a rule change, enforcement of this must be on a
If the beacons are moved, I am not sure where they would receive less QRM,

So, a well thought solution is
Could not agree more. Unless some infraction of the rules are being
made, it is highly improper for any ham to criticize another ham for
their legal operations.
To my knowledge, the amateur radio rules here in the U.S. only restrict
the 14.100 frequency from use by the fully automatic 500 Hz
I asked a while back about how many logging and contesting programs
have band plans in them. Given that 14.100 is in the IARU Band Plan, we
should be encouraged to follow it.

Hi!
Inspite of the global characteristics of this Group, wich I proudly
subscribe, most of the messages are writtten by US citizens, regarding US
rules and US practices and US bandplan (Region 2).
However most of the writers forget that there are two other IARU Regions and
National Bandplans.

Has this frequency been officially allocated? If not, then involving an OO

For those who are unfamiliar with it, here is some information about

Has anyone ever copied a beacon on 14,100 ? ? ?
I don't recall doing so in my 35 years as a ham.
That may be the shame of the whole deal
Jim, you will NOT hear them simply by casually tuning by the
frequency. There are many beacons around the world and their signals are
times so that each one transmits for a few seconds while the others are
silent. So, depedening on the time and on propagation, you may endure a
minute or two or
I think that today you would get a much better picture of
band openings by checking http://www.propnet.org/ ...
There not only can you check propagation but also from
band to band with maps. And who is coping who.
Such a much better view of what is going on.

Good point! Just like the DX entities list, the band plan should be
dynamic, location sensitive, and of course user-configurable.
