Hello Joe,

No problem about the time - I will let the PC run overnight, taking 
periodic snapshots of the spectrogram.

Just checked the frequency (using one of the few remaining MF 
broadcasters here, btw they will all be QRT very soon), and found the 
trusty old IC706 is off frequency by only 1.2 Hertz on 549 kHz. Rx now 
back on 477.700 kHz....

Good luck and have a nice weekend,
   Wolf DL4YHF .
