[IRCA] 480 RW beacon heard

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxx>]

I just listened to the 480 kHz RW experimental beacon from Colorado. I was 
tuned in early, and it began at 0528 and lasted to 0537 utc. This is much 
longer than the listed one minute beginning on the half and full hour. Code 
speed seems to be a little slower than the listed 20 wpm too. Its true 
frequency seems to be drifting down slowly each day; tonight it's on 479.810 
kHz. If you're using an R8 series radio, tune to "479.00" otherwise you 
won't hear it if tuned to 480 and in CW mode with the 500 Hz filter.
There's heavy storm static tonight and RW was weak here in NE Oregon. I can 
hear it most every night if static levels cooperate.
