[600MRG] 630 Meter Beacons

It isn't a beacon if he or she is "spouting off his unhappiness to the world 24/7".  That's broadcasting...

Consider what would happen if every nut learned he could get a two-nights-of-classes ham ticket and spout off his unhappiness to the world 24/7 AM or SSB and call it a "Propagation Beacon".
Keep up the good work Y'ALL.

I have felt that the ARRL should petition for a change to that, but I am sure there is a back-story to it.

It is interesting that the FCC prohibits automatic beacons below 28.2 MHz -  except if they are running RTTY or digital.  This has always seemed to me to be an odd exception. I remember the rationale for it from a few decades ago, but I always think 'why some modes and not others?' 
 

 
Mind you, I personally enjoy this exception to operate my WSPR beacon on 630 meters.  But logically the rules seem inconsistent.
