Mr. Miller,

What's with this "Mr." stuff? Am I under arrest?

Part 15 specifies a 9-meter antenna and 100 mW plate/
collector/drain D-C input for the band 530-1710
(May be wrong on the frequencies) and that's enough
to met the regs. So a knowledgeable feller could exceed
the field intensity at 30 meters and still be legal.

Lots of CBers have "discovered" ten meters, I hear
tell. In North Carolina, more men need killin' than
amateurs are needin' new frequencies!

This beacon thing intrigues me, and I may try it
someday.
