Hi Stewart

Thanks for the offer of help. When I run WOLF under Win 98 for a split
second I get a small black window (similar to running DOS) but it
disappeared so fast I wasn't able to read it. By repeated running I found
that I hadn't included the .wav file (looking through the documentation,
belatedly!, I see this is necessary).

I also understand that only off-line processing on receive is available.
>From this I guess that what I should have done was to make a .wav file of
Jim's signal and process it later. In the presence of QSB this could make a
QSO a bit tricky.

>From what I have read about WOLF it does appear to be a good system for
extracting data from weak signals buried in the noise and if the claims are
to be believed it has some dB improvement on QRSS systems.

However, in my case very narrow band QRSS has the great advantage of being
able to work between the very strong Loran lines received here.  QRSS and
Argo now has given us a system of the utmost simplicity, which encourages
lots of users. In addition it enables us to know what is going on around us
and the ability to read several stations at a time in a very narrow
bandwidth (a valuable asset in propagation studies).
