(RE: Strong signals and deaf receiver discussion) My opinion is that any 'beacon' activity should be at a band-edge, to minimize QRM to others. Since the upper band-edge is already occupied by slow-CW the lower band-edge may be best (eg. below 136200). Also if someone is running a 'beacon' or any test transmission it seems better to me to send 'TEST DE ON7YD' or 'VVV DE ON7YD' instead of CQ. And if there is any chance to inform the other band-users in advance (via this reflector or PR) of any beacon activities even more people may benifit from it. 73, Rik Rik Strobbe ON7YD rik.strobbe@fys.kuleuven.ac.be Villadreef 14 B-3128 Baal BELGIUM (JO20IX)
