[NLRS] W9HQ feedback (Beacons)

[Zack Widup]

That's a good point. I think that's why K3SIW and W9ZIH put their beacons a
good distance (at least 10 miles) from their stations. If I ever get the
things together for a 1296 beacon, I'd like to get it at least 5 miles away
from me. One thing I thought of is a ham I know who isn't on that band but
might let me put something on his tower.
