[NLRS] Beacons

[Mike Metroka]

Hi Arliss,

I use local CW beacons to make sure that my receiver is working.  I also
like to look for any CW beacons on 6 meters to see if and to where there
might be an opening.  I think that moving forward it would be a good idea to
alternate CW and a digital mode maybe every 30 or 60 seconds.  Maybe set a
standard of CW for the first 30 seconds and digital for the second 30
seconds.

Thanks & 73

Hello all,

I'm wondering what others thoughts are on the mode of operation for VHF+
(144 MHz and higher) beacons.  That is, would the majority prefer CW only
beacons, or should beacons in the future include at least part time
transmissions with a weak signal mode such as JT65?
