Twelve operators checked in, the following question was posed to the group:

Follow up to Colin's (VE3CMT) question about beacons and if you use them.

I am asking you to think outside the box. Why are beacons on HamSphere? They must have had a purpose when they where placed. Let's see if we can brainstorm what that might have been? Any ideas?

I think I may have thought of one, testing, but testing of what?
Interesting thoughts, ideas and discussion given by all.

Thanks to all who participated.

The next session of this net will be on Wednesday September the 21st at 01:00 UTC on freq 434.500 for Check In round followed by the Round Table or Discussion portion.
