Trying again . . . I'm hoping for 24 hours this time.

Looking at the signal at Hawley in 1 hour chunks, S/N in 278 uHz
and phase:

  23 - 00 12.0 dB  -36.1 deg
  00 - 01 16.6 dB  185.5 deg
  01 - 02 18.1 dB   99.1 deg
  02 - 03 no signal
  03 - 04 no signal
  04 - 05 no signal
  05 - 06 16.1 dB   71.4 deg
  06 - 07 16.7 dB  108.8 deg
  07 - 08 no signal
  08 - 09 no signal
  09 - 10 no signal

When the signal is there, it is very strong and a sharp line on
frequency. Then it vanishes for a few hours. Perhaps shifted to
a frequency outside the narrow band I'm using?  Also the phase is
changing.    Those phase changes are causing the apparent spread
in the long narrow spectrum.

The pattern at Forest VA is similar but the signal is weaker so
harder to measure.

I'd guess, an intermittent GPS lock.  When it works, it works well,
a really good signal.

No sign of the signal here in Todmorden (8300 km), not much
chance until the tx is firmly locked, frequency and phase.  Then
there will be a good chance I think.
