[VHFcontesting] beacon question

[Tom Mayo]

Herb,

This is why exact language is so important.  This is the question from the
General pool downloaded from the ARRL.  "A" is correct according to the
pool.

G1B02 (A) [97.203(b)]

With which of the following conditions must beacon stations comply?

*A. No more than one beacon station may transmit in the same band from the
same station location*

B. The frequency must be coordinated with the National Beacon Organization

C. The frequency must be posted on the internet or published in a national
periodical

D. All these choices are correct


This makes a lot more sense if you look at the whole answer, right?  And
it's not just the same frequency, it's the same band.
