[Elecraft] Proposed: more 6 meter CW beacons

[Dave Cole (NK7Z)]

Hi,
That's it!  Wouldn't that be nice to have a 6 meter beacon like that... 
It is so small that every year folks could break it out, put up a 
beacon, then loose it and buy a new one the next year!

73s and thanks,
Dave

If you have a 6-meter-capable QRP rig gathering dust and an antenna to put it on, you might consider joining in. In addition to giving us a few more data points on propagation, it’s a novel way of promoting CW use.
