The NCDXF beacon frequencies are specified in the ARRL Band plan. So your view is that any operator who feels like setting up automatic stations incapable of listening before transmitting should be free to do so, and that its everyone else's responsibility to figure out where these are and avoid those frequencies?
The fact that there are operators today running unattended automatic stations without listen-before-transmit capability is proof that rules -- and consequences for violating them -- are required. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Brad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > By the way, where's the list of frequencies for automatic stations > > published?
