Hi Alan, Keith here in Amherst, NY
I have also noted the long delay in the ID sequence on the W5BUB beacon.
There's a reason for it and Bub metions it on the Bio page on his QRZ
listing. He said:
>My 10 meter Beacon is operational on 28.2435 Mhz with 4 watts output

I came up with 1 Min 12 Seconds, close enough for our needs. I just
park the RX on 28.2432 MHz and wait, Bub shows up with a good signal if
the band is open...
I'm CC:ing Bub on this, I can't argue with his logic and would have done
something similar back with NQ2RP except that my homebrew TX had the
oscillator running full-time so I still couldn't copy between ID cycles, hi!
So far this morning I have heard a few, I am making a list (Just a
Little List...)
