Not exactly on topic, but I thought this might be of interest
to some.
There is a group of amateur radio operators in the US who have
received
a Part 5 experimental license to conduct tests on the former
"Marine
CW" band just below the brodcast band.
Currently at least one of those stations is running a "DX
Tes". Details
reprinted below. I'm aware of this beacon being widely
received in the
West and Mid-West, so if your receiver has a BFO, this might
be
fun to try for:
The 'RW' Beacon (480 kHz) is back on the timer,
sending 'RW' in CW at 20 wpm. Transmissions are one minute long and begin at the top of the hour and at the half hour (**00 minutes and again at **30 minutes synchronized with WWV). Running 100W to a 30 foot vertical in Colorado. Please send reception reports to: Paul WA2XRM w0rw@xxxxxxx P.O. Box 6069 Colorado Springs, CO 80934 ============================================
