I know of a few that are monitoring  ft8 on 222 as i use them to test my 222 stations before a contest.  Down in Florida there is a group  monitoring 1296 q65 that I have used to check spots in my rover set up with psk. I had not heard or thought about a q65 beacon.  I think this is a great idea. . I dont think it would be a difficult  request for the ft8 222 monitoring  guys to move to jons q65 frequency for awhile  as a experiment.  My brain is kinda foggy who is monitoring 222 ft8 as I only check that from the em57 qth not the en61 qth. Im thinking k2drh. W9xa. Hassan and  a em17 station. Wf0m maybe. Are there any other q65 or ft8 beacons allready out there that I dont know about on 222? THANKS WD9EXD

If someone is monitoring the 222 beacon band, decoding Q65 30A and reporting to PSK Reporter, yes.

So psk reporter could be used to monitor this on q65?

The saga of the 222.057 beacon continues.  I constructed a 222 amp built around a 30 watt Class C Mitsubishi module I had in my scrap box that takes the low level drive from the RFZero board (12mW) to give me some reliable power now.  I have the drive padded down for right now to give me about 14 watts out into 80' of LMR400 to the big wheel antenna at 60'.  I can drive it harder but lets see how this goes.  The carrier frequency is 222.057, a CW ID, about 19 seconds of carrier then Q65 30A.  It is GPS locked.
