[Lowfer] Active 1750 meter beacons

[JD]

>>>This list isn't perfect ... so I wonder if anyone out there
knows if beacons 3OHH, BOB, TMO, WM, MPK, and R are really active, and
if so what their frequencies/modes are? >>>

I hope the occasional typo doesn't render the list useless in your view.  If 
perfection were the criterion for usefulness, neither that list nor this 
reflector nor any kind of forum could be called "useful," either.

There's no way to force operators to tell us their status at every moment. 
All I can say is that IN THE MONTH AND YEAR SHOWN, the operators of the six 
stations you asked about told me personally that they were active, in the 
modes and on or near the frequencies shown (not all are able to measure). 
Beyond that, the list--any list--is nothing more than a guide to what _may_ 
still be current by the time you use it.  As for typos or outdated info, I 
encourage both operators and listeners to post their corrections to the 
location indicated at the top of both the LowFER and HiFER lists.  The list 
doesn't create itself...it needs ALL our efforts to be accurate.

Now, Paul said something very apt:  "An email to those on lwca list who are 
not currentlly active might bring some back on."  Very true.  TMO is one of 
a few stations being revived this winter largely because of my query to the 
operator about whether they had any plans.  Knowing that someone will try to 
listen is all the incentive some of them require!
