I may be doubted whether this is a good choice in regard to the 
different allocations in different bandplans.

For you US guys this may be ok as the ARRL/IARU 2 bandplan says:

     50.0 - 50.1 CW
     50.060 - 50.080 beacon subband

The RSGB bandplan says:

     50.0 - 50.1 Telegraphy only
     50.000 - 50.080 Propagations beacons only

Here in Germany the situation is even worse: our 6m band starts at 
50.080. No ham radio activity allowed between 50.000 - 50.080.

In fact this means 50.058 would be okay in IARU 2 (NA). But it couldn't 
be used in IARU Region 1 (EU).
