I just had a listen and you are correct in fact I doubt if there is enough
space for any radio amateur to communicate without interference from such
beacons.
Next question who was the person or persons that recommended this part of
the MF spectrum for radio amateur use ??
Was there a survey to study the feasability of this allocation. I have not
looked at this frequency area before in any detail but it does look suspect
especially after dark to be of any use. Maybe the RSGB and others would like
to comment
