It would solve a lot of problems if we get back to 135.99 +/- for Beacon and other slow and very slow transmissions and leave the 137.7 khz area for two way QRS QSO'S preferably QRS 3 and on the odd occassion when necessary a suitable speed to acheive a QSO, maybe faster or slower.

Recently 137.770 freq area has been a complete shambles with several transmissions simultaneously in beacon mode all at 60 sec dot length and very close together generating other frequencies, resulting in considerable frequency spread.

I imagine there could be difficulties even at a distanct location trying to resolve and identify anyone in the mess.
