Dion,
You aren't making many friends with your attitude. 
Your refusal to modify your beacon rate and the reasons why, and
repeated complaints of QRM seem strange to me.

How many more users of the VK7 network do you think could use your
beacon rate and still get reliable coverage?  One? Two? Ten? IMHO A high
beacon rate with with more than ONE user just doesn't work. I'd like a
technical explanation from you to show me how it would please?

You state our inferior guidelines? Can you explain why you think that?
We are coming to an general agreement, of path guidelines for any *new*
user in VK, that will work, with no ifs or buts,"straight out of the
box".  The reason is so that new users have consistant guidelines
throughout all of VK. 
I think that we have all agreed that some Zoning will take place on a
local level to limit, but this only needs to take place after the new
user is on air, in that region. 
So please, unless you don't think you live in Australia, take a look at
the *big* picture, and not just your backyard.
