I think the signal lines are just the levels of the spectral peak in the narrow FFT, there's no need for scaling these with bandwidth. The noise BW of the FFT is small, which is why the signal plot dives below the 1 Hz noise line when the signal disappears.
 
Edgar, it may be worthwhile exporting and keeping the SpecLab plots as text files (eg pltexpt_131009.txt). These can be postprocessed to obtain colour graphs of signal strength versus time over many days, similar to the ones posted by DF3LP for HGA a while ago.
 
Best 73,
Markus

Pff, DCF-39 is just 18 dB S/N at best! But BTW, Edgar, are all the plots
referred to 1 Hz NBW (not only the noise)?

Looks much better!! I've been TXing WSPR-15 though :-( Need several
antennas it seems...

Tnx for the data Edgar, and you good data archive and documentation. And
all the efforts!
