Hi Ken -- ignore the nasty replies

I always ignore the crackpots; most have no lives and nothing to say
of value.

Well, NASA uses roger beep with its astronauts and ham repeaters use
them all the time, but call them courtesy tones. So I see no problem
with experimenting on SSB, especially with folks I know who have no
objection. Especially if the tone if not loud or extravagant.

Ok... you got 3 replies that all said *don't do it*, and you want to call
all 3 "crackpots" and ignore what they have said. Consider the levels of
experience you are dealing with. Personally I have been licensed since 1984.

If you absolutely must use a beeper, then do it on the Childrens Band.. not
on the HAM bands.
