So would I.
BTW, I have donated a rig and cash to the NCDXF for the beacon system,
and support for RTTY on funded DXpeditions;
and my current operating program of choice, MixW, has great support
for using the beacon system.
And I've now decided that I will no longer knowingly work a station on
a beacon frequency. My former policy was pretty wishy-washy.
As far as 7.040 goes, I'll maintain that former policy of working
somone who's already there, but not running (as if I stand a chance)
on that frequency.*

* This is, unfortunately, the US QRP working frequency, and there are
a number of small CW rigs that are crystal-controlled on that
frequency. The European equivalent is 7.030, which is somewhat
better, but 7.040 is pretty entrenched in the US.

I would call that a no-fault situation. :-)
