Hi Russ, Les seemed to go into the hard core QRSS mode thinking as he is a LF experimenter. What I am talking about is something do-able by anyone who can download and install Spectrum Lab (freeware) and run the audio from their receiver to their PC sound card. Otherwise than that, all is need is to tune their receiver 1 kHz or so either side of the target frequency, start up Spectrum Lab with its default settings, set the waterfall bandwidth to 3 KHz and just watch the waterfall for the CW 1 kHz above/below the target carrier. Spectrum Lab can display signals that your receiver and ears easily miss. 73, Brandon Jordan Memphis, TN www.bcdx.org _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
