You're very welcome Chuck.  Your beacon is always welcome in EN82lg.  It's what 
you don't have:

No chirp
No yoop
No key clicks
No drift
No noise/hum on your carrier
No 30 second silence requirement to cool the rig down between IDs
No keying gibberish
No chirp/yoop/drift on T/R
No starting on one frequency and drifting to another while the ID is in progress

You may not be surprised to learn that I spent my life in broadcasting and much 
of it was chasing down transmitter/STL impairments.  Nor will you be surprised 
that I consider CW my first language.

I intend to debut a beacon on New Year's Day.  It will be a kind of "come as 
you are" affair for now.

  Thanks for the spot, Marc.  I was beginning to think the dreaded "RF Sponge" 
had moved over the Valley!
