Part 97 : Sec. 97.203 Beacon
station
(a) Any amateur station licensed to a holder of a Technician, General,
Advanced or Amateur Extra Class operator license may be a beacon. A holder of a
Technician, General, Advanced or Amateur Extra Class operator license may be
the
control operator of a beacon, subject to the privileges of the class of
operator
license held.
(b) A beacon must not concurrently transmit on more than 1 channel in the
same amateur service frequency band, from the same station location.
(c) The transmitter power of a beacon must not exceed 100 W.
(d) A beacon may be automatically controlled while it is transmitting on the
28.20?28.30 MHz, 50.06?50.08 MHz, 144.275?144.300 MHz, 222.05?222.06 MHz or
432.300?432.400 MHz segments, or on the 33 cm and shorter wavelength bands.
(e) Before establishing an automatically controlled beacon in the National
Radio Quiet Zone or before changing the transmitting frequency, transmitter
power, antenna height or directivity, the station licensee must give written
notification thereof to the Interference Office, National Radio Astronomy
Observatory, P.O. Box 2, Green Bank, WV 24944.
(1) The notification must include the geographical coordinates of the
antenna, antenna ground elevation above mean sea level (AMSL), antenna center
of
radiation above ground level (AGL), antenna directivity, proposed frequency,
type of emission, and transmitter power.
(2) If an objection to the proposed operation is received by the FCC from the
National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, Pocahontas County, WV, for
itself or on behalf of the Naval Research Laboratory at Sugar Grove, Pendleton
County, WV, within 20 days from the date of notification, the FCC will consider
all aspects of the problem and take whatever action is deemed appropriate.
(f) A beacon must cease transmissions upon notification by a District
Director that the station is operating improperly or causing undue interference
to other operations. The beacon may not resume transmitting without prior
approval of the District Director.
(g) A beacon may transmit one-way communications.

Hello Jon, I am sending you a short note to ask who is in
charge of the six meter beacon stations and what are the rules with
regard to their frequency allocation? When the band is open for DX they
qrm a lot of dx working in the area below 50080. I had a nice opening
July 3rd to Europe and a N3***/B on 50079.9 simply took some good dx out
underneath him. I think that all the /B stations should stay below
50025 or 050 at the highest. There are more and more of them showing up
every day and are becoming a nuisance. I just wondered what you and the
ARRL's position on this is? Passing this along to the ACG and SECC
reflectors also... not trying to stir up a hornets nest but would like
to know. Tnx and 73's Cort K4WI
