         N2XE is doing this daily and changes his codeword daily.
Tom did not confirm the codeword for Tuesday's 1 mW session.

He changed the power level to 500 uW yesterday and will run
that again tonight on 3545.5.  Actually this is a very good
test since beacon mode allows all to take "their best shot" at
propagation (e.g. local sunset), and requiring copy of a unique
codeword actually ensures that people really can copy...rather
than just saying "Yeah, I heard your signal".
