Hi Mal,
Yes, that is what I had concluded years ago. No harm in trying though!
Further to your previous e-mail to LF, looks to me like beacons are now becoming the norm on 136/7kHz band and below. I have no problem with that personally, indeed, I think it preferable to a QSO taking forever! I woud like to see full idents though, no matter how slow.
