We report observations of the tip motion of spiral waves in excitable Belousov-Zhabotinskii reagent. An open reactor is used to determine the time-asymptotic dynamics of the spiral tip as a function of a control parameter. We have observed a supercritical transition from simple rotation (one frequency) to compound rotation (two frequencies); the compound motion at onset closely resembles that predicted by two-species reaction-diffusion models.
