[Lowfer] TAG Beacon Change?

[John Andrews]

All,

For the last few years, I have been running the TAG beacon in Maine on 
185.800 in WOLF mode. Before that, it was a QRSS30 beacon on 185.297 
kHz. While I heartily believe that WOLF is a great weak-signal mode, the 
beacon seems to be running for only a handful of guys who (thankfully) 
take a look from time to time and send reports.

I think we would be better served by repopulating the 185.300 window 
with QRSS30-60 (or DFCW) beacons that could be found by newer folks with 
less demanding equipment setups. So, unless someone talks me out of it, 
I'm going to rework the TAG beacon next week, and re-install it on 
September 8-9.

Looking at the LWCA Beacon List, it appears that I could go back on 
185.297 kHz. If there are any objections or better suggestions, please 
make them! Once I set the beacon up, it will not be easily changed, 
particularly over the winter.

And for the WOLF enthusiasts, I plan to do a lot more QRP WOLF operation 
with WD2XES on 2200 meters this season. I don't like running the big rig 
unattended, and am out a lot in the evening, so the QRP mode will fill 
some unused time.
