I don't know if I would have a record on my blog but I think you did RX 
my original very similar power TX. I coded Opera on a PIC to key that 
and I am sure you RX'd it. I have Op coded with 1/3 missing data in 
various ways, that was on 500K of course.

Was that JNT ? although he has a fair size antenna.

Well erm, yes you have Rx'd another beta ver.

Separation of dial freq is 2.8KHz. You could put one at the top of 
window and one at the bottom. Best and fairest way, and I will twist 
Colin's arm for a test period and let you know too, would be to put them 
both on the same frequency, then I can resonate the antenna on the freq. 
instead of guessing on a mid point.
