It was agreed that as the band was so narrow, and because there were adequate out-of-band transmissions, that amateur beacons would not be encouraged. The only exception was short-term beacons for transmitter, aerial testing, etc. Hope that that helps. 73 John, G3WKL -----Original Message----- From: majordom@post.thorcom.com [mailto:majordom@post.thorcom.com]On Behalf Of Claudio Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 23:15 To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.org Subject: LF: 136 kHz beacon : Request for Comments HI Lowfers. I have a chance to install a 136 kHz QRSS beacon in ARI Milano radio club (north Italy). Before to propose the project to radio club I ask LF peaple for some comments: 1 - This beacon may be useful? 2 - If yes, what frequency may be preferred? 3 - The choice to start beacon at sunset and stop it at sunrise may be a good choice? All other comments and suggestions are well accepted. 73 de Claudio ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Claudio Pozzi http://www.qsl.net/ik2pii happy Linux user E-Mail: Claudio Date: 04-Oct-01 Time: 00:05:46 This message was sent by XFMail ----------------------------------------------------------------------
