True indeed.
But without the beacon tests we wouldn't know whether a QSO was possible or
when was the best time to try for one.
When I first started on LF G3XTZ had a QRP beacon on 24/7 which I could
barely detect. After a series of incremental improvements I had it solid 57.
It gives people a signal to listen for and therefore encourages activity
(receive activity, maybe, but activity of some kind!).

Hearing a beacon is nice but it is not communication. Communication
requires
that a message be sent and a reply received. Just my view of course.
