Hi Richard the thinking on permanent high erp beacons has for some long =
time on these narrow LF/MF bands is that they are not really needed now =
and if installed make receiving weak DX stations more difficult for =
others. My own thought is that you are in the wrong place.....too near =
the centre of activity. A beacon to be useful needs to be at the =
perifery of operation. I would venture that within Europe it has no real =
utility. Now a station like that making contacts on CW and other modes =
would be welcomed I am sure.

50m is still "low" for a dipole and the "T" configuration would work =
better at that height.

Others may have different views :-))

  Hi,

  If a chance arose for a powerful traditional MF beacon in Poland would =
it be of interest, or has WSPR done away with the need for traditional =
beacons?


  By powerful, it would be meant the full legal limit (1w!) into a half =
wave dipole mounted high above ground level (minimum 50m, but possibly =
in excess of 100m).


  Your thoughts gentlemen
