Some UK stations inflict themselves with BEACON MODE when they are permitted to have two way communications.This does not make sense. We need two way communications for real time assessment of propagation and not ONE WAY. Some argue that they get reports from all around the world while in BEACON mode but forget to mention that they would get the same reports if they were in QSO.I often get reports from near and far while in QSO mode. I would suggest a licence for BEACONS only in a selected part of the 500 khz band, like the German system and another for real communications by real radio amateurs preferably using the traditional marine method of CW.
