Hmm, okay, well, I still think that the potential for flooding (no pun
intended) the channel if the synchronization breaks is a problem.
Wouldn't it be reasonable to set each side to half the interval needed
so that you get alternating beacons in the normal case?  Using intervals
of :15, :30, :45 you can ensure that they go out at 15, 30, and 45 past
the hour so that they get evenly spaced.

You mean a way to export a QST configuration to a file for easy import
on another side?  I'd *much* rather do that, if you think that would be
helpful.
