Hi All,
Sorry for the slow reply, been considering the implications.

The ENIGMA ID of MX applies to solitary SLHFB's (Single Letter High Frequency 
Beacon) while the ID of MXI applies to SLHFB clusters where the freqs are very 
closely grouped, nominally 0.1kHz steps apart, and were specifically introduced 
to identify the Russ/E.Europe beacon network system.
I will clarify this in the next issue of the ENIGMA Control List to avoid confusion.

Other single letter beacons around the world do not currently have an ENIGMA ID 
and it is not my intention to assign one.
May I suggest that these be logged as a SLB "x" which is the current practice 
within ENIGMA 2000 if any confusion is likely to occur.

Thanks to Hugh and Zack for bringing it to my attention via their postings.
