No, for who knows what reason, they are on 17 meters, but 
not on 12. And, as Lloyd said, they are no longer on 6 
meters.

I have never learned why they dropped 6 meters, but I have 
always been of the opinion that discontinuing those 
transmissions was rather short sighted on their part.

When they were on 6 meters, I would often hear them up there 
when no other signals were present on the band here in 
Mississippi. I often used the 6 and 10 meter signals to 
practice typing CW on the Perkins, because there was rarely 
any QRM up there.

Before 10 and 6 meter beacons became so plentiful, W1AW 
would also serve that purpose quite well.
