[Elecraft] Proposed: more 6 meter CW beacons

[Dave Cole (NK7Z)]

I have a script that announces openings, based on scraping my DX Cluster.

If it sees DX stations spotting US stations from my CQ zone, it 
announces that band as open.  I am converting it to Grid square, as I 
want more resolution.  I will probably just look at the first two 
characters of the Grid Square, and trigger from that.

It is a Perl based script.  If anyone wants it, email me off line, you 
are welcome to it.

73s and thanks,
Dave
