I wasn't aware of that. But since Dexter could copy UK stations running
abt. 350mW ERP it might be worth putting up a 24h beacon arround 137790,
would allow the Eu's to monitor beacons in the US and Canada at same time
(just stay a few Hz away from Larry).
For more than one year now, we have had a QRS beacon on the air 24/7 (at
least, weather permitting) but our presnt "Part 5" license only allows
us
to transmit on 136.750 +/- 5 Hz.
Our beacon is being heard, and seen, regularly in London (but that is
London, Ontario, not London UK)
