[600MRG] License class

[William E. Isakson]

No Chris, a CW beacon can be copied.   When I was still able to beacon
using WD2XSH
 my one third watt beacon from the San Francisco Bay Area was copied in
Colorado.   My transmit antenna was never higher than 30 feet either.
 However, that was, of course, an uncommon event and a very good receiver
e-field antenna.   Using an out of band hamstick (40 meter) for receive 630
meters and a standard yeacomwood type ham radio for receive, the signals
went only locally.   That is to say that to work with CW QRP like that you
have to have a real in band antenna at the receiving end, but you can do dx
that way.
