Reverse Beacon Network
The Reverse Beacon Network is a great way to see if you are being heard when doing CW.
Just call out CQ CQ DE (callsign) (callsign) and repeat. Update the filters on the site to be sure you are filtering for your callsign and time refreshed.
This tool can also be used if you are doing a POTA Activation. If you have an activation in the system before hand, the RBN will pick up your frequency and spot you automatically.
This is a perfect scenario and tool to use if you are in an area with no internet or cell service.
