Group,
To encourage experimenting with Compass-1, here is a short video showing how to request a CW beacon of Compass-1.
Actually it is a full High Definition (HD) video, taken with a CANON HV-30 camera, edited, and uploaded to Vimeo.
Have a look and let me know how you experience this (download time, picture quality, etc.)
