A suggestion - To those individuals who report hearing beacons - Include the 4-digit grid square identifier of your listening station - for example, mine is FN00. Right now it appears most listening reports are only identified by the listener's name. For those interested in following the science of radio propagation I'm sure the grid square identifier is of more value that the listener's name. Remembering to include date / time is also helpful. This web site does have a directory of beacons associated with their grid square. There is probably no reason to have a directory of listener's with their grid square. But on occasion it may be helpful if readers of this column knew how to contact a specific listener. Using this very public message board for one-on-one communications may not be in the best interest of the parties involved. 73 Frank K3DZ / WH2XHA
