Rich,

No problems ,

The beacon saga has all ways caused a bit of a spat , or  splash as in the 
mid band one, serious cw takes place round 502 and wspr  up at the top end 
of the band , qrss also tends to  be run at the top end to  prevent the long 
tx pulses from blocking  other activity's lower down, sometimes the mid 
band  is taken , but once a nice trace has been seen on a remote grabber 
this usually stops. bit like a budgie and a mirror that sort of thing.

Data linear/multi tone  normally runs round 503 and rtty fsk 85/23  hz shift 
round  502.2 when cw/data mode changes are made, due  to the  equipment 
being vfo controlled and fsk keyed, a big  qsy is not  that easy or needed.

To date , Andy has the only  permit  to  run a beacon full time , as can be 
observed on 503.7 and at :-
 http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/wgtaylor/grabber3.html
Beacons may be  run for  extended periods , but are subject to the manned / 
un manned clauses, interference etc

Experimental work, mode comparison that sort of thing  tends to  run round 
the middle of the band so as not to  interfere with the mode serious normal 
on going  activities towards the band  edges.
