[160m] KU4XR running JASON Normal tonite on 160 meters

[Bill Aycock]

Andy--
Sorry I upset you. Beacons are usually intended to provide propagation info 
in as simple a fashion as possible. CW is adequate, and is common.
I have lots of digital modes available, but don't expect to see them on 
beacons.
I'll let you go your way with no further comment.
