<DIV>Tony,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't normally have View Bulletins turned on in xastir, but I've just</DIV>
<DIV>done so to see if I can report anything.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My concern on 30m is the high beacon rate of some stations. Given that</DIV>
<DIV>many users, if not most, have dumb trackers I can't see much point in</DIV>
<DIV>endlessly banging out beacons from gateway stations. I beacon twice per</DIV>
<DIV>hour.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No names, no pack drill.</DIV>

<DIV>> Has anyone else seen this ? 3MY-4 is probably banging out these Bulletin</DIV>

<DIV>> Not sure whats wrong with the frame but perhaps the 2x Colons is the</DIV>

<DIV>> I somehow remember these Bulletin frames but its been a long time since</DIV>
<DIV>> actually noticing them.</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> I also see lots of objects at times on HF which really is poor practice</DIV>
<DIV>> ? Why do we need so many frames containing information on HF when most</DIV>
<DIV>> of the stations actually decoding them are the Gateways ? It just steals</DIV>
