But this is not what this project is about, it's use is to gather
information on possible Top Band Propagation forcasting, using all
resources available.
All stations should be on the same freq. using 100 watts, id every few
minues with other Beacons transmitting at different times, now how much QRM
is that going to cause you, I don't know what section of the country your
located in, but there isn't
that much QRM here, QRN yes but I can tune up and down the 160 m band and
fine maybe 6 qso's going on including CW. when we have a band opening,
thats a different story and still there isn't  that much QRM.
