[VHFcontesting] beacon question

[Zack Widup]

I cannot find anything in Part 97 that covers this. The closest thing I can
find is:

"§ 97.203 Beacon station.
(f) A beacon must cease transmissions upon notification by a Regional
Director that the station is operating
improperly or causing undue interference to other operations. The beacon
may not resume transmitting
without prior approval of the Regional Director."

It seems to me that a 222 MHz beacon on the east coast or central USA is
very unlikely to interfere with a beacon on the same frequency on the west
coast. 50 MHz may be a different matter.
