Hi all,

It's a deep summer hole this year it seems :-)

Well, i've stared a 4.1 uHz per FFT bin spectrogram in SpecLab. Probably
the slowest spectrogram in SL ever? ;-)
It took about 3 days until the first pixel/spectrum appeared. The scroll
rate is 1000 minutes / pixel. Time stamps are "MMM" :-)

Look at the spectrum peak of the signal, it's right on the frequency and
quite sharp, proofing a good stability of RX, TX and path....

The signal is on the air now since 2 weeks!

73 all, Stefan

PS: +33 C here...
