Mainly because nobody will be listening there.
On most nights there are dozens and dozens of stations monitoring (actually 132
at this moment) the standard 160m WSPR frequency. Overnight WSPR’ing has been
with us for several years now and can’t really
Perhaps someone can define exactly what that means in the case of a
WSPR signal (or even FT8).
Attended means:
Present in the shack or a reasonable distance from the control point
and able to prevent/terminate transmission if necessary.
Count me as one who is opposed to beacons in general

FCC rules do no apply outside the US (including 4U1UN). I believe the
one or two NCDXF beacons in the US operate under a Special Temporary

WSPR frequencies have been established since 2008, when the software was
introduced. Typical power levels are 100mw - 1W. These signals have
always been there, but we haven't noticed them. They can be

I was going to do some WSPR also last winter but busy with work.
I will try to get on some also BUT this next Fall/Winter will try two
different antennas at same time, two different callsigns.
So hope you and others will try WSPR this Fall/Winter. (I know, busy with
life stuff here.)

So - it has been brought to my attention that unattended beacons below 10
meter are not allowed (although I guess that would not apply to VLF?).
More specifically:
A beacon
Hi All -
I have recently purchased a WSPR transmitter that I will be putting on 160
meters soon. It will be running 200 mw (at least for now) and be connected
to my TX antenna most of the time.
I know many of you are more experienced at using this "mode" than I am -
but wanted to help raise
