Brian,
Looks like the best screen shot was the first one. On the second shot I
messed with the Argo timing to try to get a full call set on one shot
but that was a mistake so I set it back to fast. Also on the second
shot I calibrated the frequency scale. Time shown is EST (-5:00 UTC).
The last traces of your signal was seen at 0724 UTC.

I entered your location into a range and bearing program called BD.
This program has proven to be very reliable for microwave work but it
has not tracked exactly with other programs for distances to Europe. If
I entered your location correctly BD shows you in grid IN51qd and a
distance of 6137.011 km. I am located in EM95tg at 35 15 22 N -080 22
48 W. This location is several hundred kilometers inland.
Your signal was also seen by Jon W1JHJ of Plymouth, Massachusetts. He
alerted me to your signal on the LWCA reflector, [email protected]. I'm
not sure if he is subscribed to the rsgb lf reflector. I will contact
him for a report if you wish.
Thanks for your effort to transmit a fine LF signal.
73,
Dexter, W4DEX

Thank you Dexter and yes please. I only powered up the Decca TX live
on aerial for the first time yesterday at about 1500utc. It is suddenly
worth all the hard work. My location is as per the signature block, the city
of Porto.
