[Elecraft] Proposed: more 6 meter CW beacons

[Peter Torry]

May I raise a word of caution and suggest that you carefully consider 
the frequency of any beacon in view of the international use of the band.

  50.000-50.030 MHz reserved for a Synchronised Beacon Project 
*Region-1: *50.000-50.010; *Region-2: *50.010-50.020; *Region-3: 
*50.020-50.030

  General beacons have migrated to 50.4-50.5 MHz, to create more space 
for Telegraphy and the new Synchronised Beacon Project.

  Perhaps a word with regular users of the band may be a useful way forward.
