I explained my concerns of being able to CWID the beacon at some rate able to be read by the authorities and, per the part 5 regs, ID (quickly) not more than every 30 mins. (Yes this limits my slow QRSS beacon speed) - Given that my licence emissions designator allows me only 5 Hz this doesnt work (that was my fault). He listened intentely and said it wasnt a problem and that I can ID at 6/12 wpm in the interim but I should go on line and do a modify on the licence and add an emission with a new bandwidth statement for A1A (probably 120Hz) and Ill do the same allowing DFCW (Ok what the heck bandwidth F1D statement do I do for this....?) this will then go thru the FCCmill and hopefully pop out the other side intact. I broached the subject of a station move to (probably) Oklahoma - and again this would be a modiifcation of the existing licence and not a full reapply. Oklahoma is the best bet for the next location. I didnt ask this time but will do when I move, for permission to allow 2 x way communications for propagation research (duality of path , skew, tunnelling, sub-iono and all those other propagation possibles) with stations in the US and outwith. Part 5 does have a clause pertaining to 2 way permissions but the reasons to allow it have to be very watertight....and they will be. It sounded like other part 5s were in process for 136kHz.. Whew.
