CFH peaks 33dB above the noise regularly (in 100Hz filter). If its erp is around 8kW as rumoured then a 4W erp signal would be on the noise level, normal good copy, and a 1W signal would be 6dB down. No problem for Spectrogram. There is a VE station building for the band and he intends to try some tests next "fall" from VO1. That should do it! 73 de G3YXM.
