It is a buffer which can hold one FRI worth of samples into which I
average the received signal.
In other words, for a 1Msps and 9660 GRI, it will be:
9660 * 10 * 2 = 193200 samples long

Yes, the skywave at night is the killer problem.

Looks very typical.
Try this: set a pulse generator to the gri-rate of a nearby LORAN-C
chain. Connect it to the external sync trigger of your spectrum analysator
Then set it for start=100khz, stop=100khz, bandwidth=10khz and video
averaging (or whatever it's called)
You should be able to see the loran-C pulses quite clearly.
