Thanks to all who sent me advice re spectrogram.I have now solved the problem and of course it turns out to be "finger trouble",but all the information and advice was most valuable. I shall now be looking for qrss signals in order to check out my equipment,before venturing on to the nezt stage.One thing is that I can use my Racal 1792 Rx !

I am quite sure that we will need the additional sig/noise afforded by qrss if we are to achive a transatlantic QSO. I am reading IEE reports of long distance tests carried out in the late 1940s and will try to sort out some figures re signal strengths to be expected on this route. 73s Laurie.
