Dear LF Group,

With all this talk of millihertz resolution, and atomic clock-like 
stability, I wonder if any particular frequencies or sub-bands have 
been considered for transatlantic test purposes? After all, the best 
DSP techniques won't detect a signal if it's on the wrong 
frequency, or if someone is innocently having a manual CW QSO 
on top of it!

Another motive for raising this is on the grounds of complexity; like 
several others, I don't have synthesised equipment, and building 
fully featured synthesizers in my spare time is definitely a long term 
goal. But I could come up with pretty good stability equipment with 
the help of a couple of crystals, if I knew what frequency they 
should be.

With this in mind, it would be helpful if the Transatlantic II people 
could let us know of their intentions as soon as possible.

Cheers, Jim Moritz
