Whilst your list can be construed as informative, contentious, destructive etc etc depending on your point of view, it really highlights the nonsense of trying to maintain a beacon system in the middle of a very active band. Whilst education should work, surely 95% of the problem could have been avoided if the beacons had been located on 14350 or 14000 for instance (plus or minus a bit to avoid being outside the band of course). And logically you are much more likely to avoid inadvertently transmitting on a beacon if you are operating in the same mode as the beacon itself. Putting a CW beacons in the middle of a band plan allocated for data is just asking for trouble. (I know you can operate CW in this section but no one does - especially in the middle of an RTTY contest).
And then again - in the middle of a contest do you need beacons to tell you where the propagation is? 73 David A92GE --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "expeditionradio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > RTTY Hall of Shame > > Here is a list of some of the RTTY operators transmitting > on the international IARU beacon frequency 14100.0kHz today. > > 73---Bonnie KQ6XA > > Saturday 23 SEP 2006 > > WM3T/4 (repeat offender) > W4VD (repeat offender) > N6CK > JE2PMC > IW5ABF > IK1ZFO > N6IU > EA1DZL > JA1GHH > DF4ZW > DH3JF > YU7AM > OE9SLH > DD1UN > F5OQL > W5PUF > K0GEO > > The list continues... > Need a Digital mode QSO?
