I can see some utility in having "reverse beacons". I don't really care
about cheating, as those who would cheat will always find a way. What
concerns me is QRM, and the following suggestion I find self contradictory.

The "reverse beacon" would be useless on a "bad" frequency (with a MWBC
carrier harmonic or IMD product) and "good" frequencies are all likely
to be where we want to work rare DX. This could only be okay if by "in
the band" you include way up above 1900 kHz, and this would severely
reduce the utility for comparing TX antenna performance.
