This is a fantastic idea.
I thing that I really dislike, is to see a particular station spotted 200
times during a Contest and another competitor just spotted 100 times. It is
most unfair, and we all know how important it is to be spotted.

By doing a reverse beacon fed into the packet system, all stations on the
band will be spotted.
Democracy finally arrives into the packet world!

Thanks!
