[Lowfer] Beacon JAM SoCal New Freq 187.015 khz

[Ed Phillips]

Been copying JAM since he came on around noon but signal is weaker than 
I would expect at that rather short distance. Terrible line noise came 
on at 4:20 but still easy copy through it.  Perfect copy of course but I 
suggest a change in the message would make in much easier to tune in and 
recognize.  The long dashes with wide spacings don't really help at all 
and the repeat time on the whole messaqge is way, way too long.  I'd 
suggest something as simple as
 'JAM JAM JAM DM04uf' followed by a 10 second dash and then repeat 
without much of a gap.  The dash would be long enough to tune on and the 
presence of the message would be a clue that who it was even if too weak 
to copy solidly.  Speed is good.
