| MF At present 5 stns active some DX on QRSS 
mode,  unfortunately in BEACON mode otherwise QSO'S are 
possible. This frequency seems to have turned into a BEACON BASHER 
QRSS freq and NO qso mode. Beacons are not really necessary on this band because of 
the abundance of NDB Beacons for propagation purposes. It seems to be a habit now to BEACON and QSL via Internet 
on this band instead of engaging in real time QSO;S I have been on this frequency lately using QRSS 5 for DX 
qso purposes and QSX 7033 but so far no calls in real time. If this frequency is going to be used for BEACONS only it 
might be better to QSY to either band edge top or bottom out of the 
way. preferably TOP to avoid QRM to the CW STNS active at the 
bottom end.   73 de mal/g3kev       |
