Re: [IRCA] RW Beacon

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxx>]

Excellent reception! What receiver are you using, and what's the approximate 
distance? I haven't heard of anyone else on this list who's heard RW yet. I 
like your QSL card idea, of using a local postcard.

Tonight, RW is just a little above the almost-constant static crashes here, 
0518 utc, but almost 95% copy on one pass through the brief message. He's 
doing the 20 wpm regular speed tonight. I'm about 780 miles from the beacon. 
Frequency remains  around 479.810 kHz. I made a much simpler, 
less-appealing, non-picture card using Word, cut it out in a rough 
postcard-size shape, signed it, and put it in an envelope in the mail to him 
last week.
