[NLRS] Signal reports with new rig on 144.285 please

Rather than permanently tie up my FT-897 as a beacon rig, I've hacked an old
Alinco 2 meter FM transceiver to key off the beacon keyer.  I know it's not
nearly as nice a signal as that from the FT-897.  What I'm wondering is
whether it's an *acceptable* signal.  I don't want the best to be the enemy
of the good.  All on-air reports would be appreciated.  If this is basically
okay, then this is the rig that'll go to the top of the silo.

Thanks and 73,

David  W9HQ
