Re: LF: Beacon to the west...Success!

Hi Bruce,

there may be another weak trace at the top left part of screenshot, exactly 0.5 Hz above Stefan's center frequency. I find this interesting because I have been beaconing on 136172.5 last night, albeit only with about 0.5 W ERP, so much weaker than Stefan. My timing was half-hourly qrss-60 "NM"s, starting 5 minutes after each half hour (0:05 - 0:20,  0:35 - 0:50, 1:05 - 1:20, ...). What time was your capture taken?

Best 73,

Hello Stefan,

Attached is an Argo snip, the best of four captures overnight.
I'm using a 10 foot octagon loop, roughly based on a design
by VE7SL, into a DIY preamp, then a TS-440S.   Audio from
the receiver is processed with a DSP-59+ before being sent
to Argo in my old Win98 computer.  Frequency calibration is
off a bit, but it was the only signal present.
