Hi.
Personally, I think what might be needed is some co-ordination on the
lower VHF bands, to initiate something like the HF IBP system, where one
frequency is used in turn by a collection of beacons. (Multiple
frequencies could still be used, but accommodating multiple beacons per
frequency.)
Using a Next Generation Beacon mode, you get not only human readable CW,
but machine readable modes so you can leave a PC monitoring to build an
appreciation of propagation to/from your location.
See:
http://www.ncdxf.org/pages/beacons.html http://www.ncdxf.org/beacon/beaconschedule.htmlAlso, for other idea's:
http://www.rudius.net/oz2m/ngnb/index.htmand:
http://www.gb3vhf.co.uk/GB3VHFReceiving.htmlfor some examples.
No affiliation, just idea's, to perhaps avoid many beacons all QRM'ing
each other.

If you have a 6-meter-capable QRP rig gathering dust and an antenna to put it on, you might consider joining in. In addition to giving us a few more data points on propagation, it?s a novel way of promoting CW use.
