Hi Dan

Could not agree more. I have often used W1AW on 28067.5 kHz to gauge propagation and adjust my CW cq calling times.

Although W1AW is not a propagation beacon, per se, it certainly can be used to monitor conditions.
W1AW had a very strong signal here, last night, during the CW bulletin. In addition to the CW bulletin they broadcast Code Practice and Voice announcements.
Long before the proliferation of beacons W1AW was one of the methods I used to gauge path conditions AND, it still works.
FYI: Voice=28.590, CW=28.0675 and Data=28.095 MHz.
Good hunting and 73,
