4 Meters Beacons
Several countries in ITU Region 1 have access to frequencies in the 70 MHz region, called the 4 meters band. The band shares many propagation characteristics with 6 meters. The preferred location for beacons is 70,000 to 70,030 kHz; however, in countries where this segment is not allocated to Amateur Radio, beacons may operate elsewhere in the band.

Famous quotes containing the words meters and/or beacons:
“In our Mechanics’ Fair, there must be not only bridges, ploughs, carpenter’s planes, and baking troughs, but also some few finer instruments,—rain-gauges, thermometers, and telescopes; and in society, besides farmers, sailors, and weavers, there must be a few persons of purer fire kept specially as gauges and meters of character; persons of a fine, detecting instinct, who note the smallest accumulations of wit and feeling in the bystander.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
