There is a very faint trace at 8.9702kHz on Stefan's grabber from around 0800. Is this him testing? Nothing seen on the 6.5kHz grabber yet.

Good luck to all looking for the signal(s).

73s

Thank you Wolf,
maybe it'S too early in the morning, HI.
I tried changing the center frequency several times without changing the frequency range and vice versa. After I changed both, it works.
Thank you - and Mal will be happy too ;-))
