Well, I guesS its a stretch here, but someone may take the Ho ho ho as solicitation!

Question... I have never seen any FCC requirements as to what the content of a beacon message must be other than including your callsign. Certainly there are many versions of beacon messages on 10 meters. Locations, grids, URL's, etc. Numerous repeaters around the country in automatic operation also have varied information on their ID's. I don't see where a little festivity for the holidays would be a violation as long as you are legally ID'd and it is not profanity. __________________________ Ron Parks - WB5DYG Amateur Radio Operator Gilbert, AZ Grid DM43 email:wb5dyg@xxxxxxx web: www.qsl.net/wb5dyg/ Keep your filaments warm... -----Original Message----- From: hfbeacons-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:hfbeacons-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ars_kb2seo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 24, 2011 8:30 AM To: 10mprop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; hfbeacons@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [HFbeacons] Beacon.
