I would like to remind us that unattended beacons are not permitted under the license conditions on the 136kHz band, at least not in the UK. There is nothing to stop you putting attended beacons on, though they would be classed as test transmissions. A year ago when we first started on 136 quite a few stations beaconed in the UK for a while. With current level of activity they are apparently no longer considered necessary and the practice has more or less stopped. 73s Dave
