hmmmmmmmmm.... Is the purpose of a beacon not to help someone determine just what the propagation conditions are on a particular day between various parts of the world?
If one hears a ham transmitting as part of an actual QSO, would this not also provide the exact same information? I fail to see where beacons are more important than QSOs. No, I am NOT a contestor. As there are only a few major contests a year, I just do not see where this is a major problem. I do feel that this type of debate is very similar to the "code-no code", "extra-lite (no 20wpm code)", and "SO2R" debates... it is an opportunity for folks to express their varying opinions on a topic whilst driving a wedge betwixt members of the amateur radio community. As for your Wolf Hong, well, you should be glad that those of us who do web development for a living do not have one handy at times. I tried to find out a little about you, but was only able to get a little info due to the large number of broken links on your own web page. Live and let live. There is spectrum and room for all of us. 73, Patrick ND5C --- 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?
